Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Studies in Greek Tragedy
Every true tragedy turns on a con?ict, whether it be a merely personal rivalry between one man and another, or a con?ict on a grander scale, a struggle between opposing principles. Greek tragedy must always be' peculiarly arresting, because the Greek tra gedians combined in a curiously subtle way a con?ict of persons with a con?ict of principles. They present Situations in which there is a tremendous con?ict of personality and at the same time a much vaster con?ict of principle. In each case I have devoted myself to analysing this con?ict of principle, and I have mostly left to the reader's own insight the estimation of the rival characters.
