Synopsis

Francis Dunn explores the novel gestures that close the dramas of Euripides, showing how these deny access to an authoritative reading of the plays, reinforce innovations in plot and structure, and open up tragedy to comic, parodic, and narrative impulses. The author provides the first large-scale study of closure in classical literature, and includes readings of plot, ending, and generic innovation in Hyppolytus, Trojan women, Hercules, and the late plays Helen, Orestes, and Phoenician Women.

Revue de presse

'...The author has produced a wide-ranging analysis of endings admirably augmented by much incisive observation on the body of the plays and a wealth of comparison between plays...D's book is a perceptive and illuminating study of a hitherto neglected aspect of the plays, an aspect not immediately evident as a major factor in dramatic action. As such it fulfils a definite need.' (Stanley ireland, Univ. Warwick , The Classical Review)
