Produktbeschreibung

Explores the influence of the Greek Electra myth on theatre, from Shakespeare's Hamlet - more than a thousand years after the classical Greek period - to the twentieth-century. As we read the plays in this volume, we will question: Are we still locked into theses oppositions? If so, how do they effect the world we live in?
