Rationalist Criticism of Greek Tragedy: The Nature, History, and Influence of a Critical Revolution

by James E. Ford

This book examines one of the most radical and precipitous instances in the shift in interpretation and evolution of literary works and their authors. Specifically, Rationalist Criticism of Greek Tragedy focuses on the 'rehabilitation' of Euripides in the late nineteenth-century, including the crucial role played by the classicist and English scholar A.W. Verrall.
