{"product_id":"euripides-alexandros-introduction-text-and-commentary","title":"Euripides, \"Alexandros\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the first full-scale commentary on Euripides’ \u003cem\u003eAlexandros\u003c\/em\u003e, which is one of the best preserved fragmentary tragedies. It yields insight into aspects of Euripidean style, ideology and dramatic technique (e.g. rhetoric, stagecraft and imagery) and addresses textual and philological matters, on the basis of a re-inspection of the papyrus fragments. This book offers a reconstruction of the play and an investigation of issues of characterization, staging, textual transmission and reception, not least because \u003cem\u003eAlexandros\u003c\/em\u003e has enjoyed a fascinating \u003cem\u003eNachleben\u003c\/em\u003e in literary, dramaturgical and performative terms. It also contributes to the readers’ understanding of the trends of later Euripidean drama, especially the dramatist’s innovation and experimentation with plot-patterns and staging conventions. Furthermore, the analysis of \u003cem\u003eAlexandros\u003c\/em\u003e could stimulate a more comprehensive reading of the extant \u003cem\u003eTrojan Women\u003c\/em\u003e coming from the same production, which bears the features of a ‘connected trilogy’. Thus, the information retrieved through the interrogation of the rich fragmentary material serves to supplement and contextualize the extant tragic corpus, showcasing the vitality and multiformity of Euripidean drama as a whole.       \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54012491792728,"sku":null,"price":172.36,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783110534023.jpg?v=1780043450","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/euripides-alexandros-introduction-text-and-commentary","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
