"This generous selection of published essays by the distinguished classicist Charles Segal represents over twenty years of critical inquiry into what Greek tragedy is and what it means for modern-day readers. Taken together, the essays reflect profound changes in the study of Greek tragedy in the United States during this period -- in particular, the increasing emphasis on myth, psychoanalytic interpretation, structuralism, and semiotics. Ranging from close readings of individual plays -- including "Antigone," "Hippolytus," "Helen," and "Bacchae" -- to broadly based discussions of Greek tragedy as a whole. Segal explores the nature of literary interpretation as applied to classical texts. By looking closely at poetic language, artistic design, and mythical components, he brings out both the intellectual subtlety and the emotional and moral power that characterize this uniqe dramatic form. While keenly aware of the difficulties involved in viewing the ancient plays from a contemporary perspective, Segal demonstrates through his essays that Greek tragedy remains open to many different modes of interpretation and cannot be circumscribed by a single interpretive discourse.".

Cornell University Press, Ithaca / London, 1986. 384p. Paperback. ?Ch. Segal a réuni dans ce recueil douze articles qui s?échelonnent sur une période de vingt ans (1965-1985, huit titres des années quatre-vingts). Ils reflètent fidèlement l?évolution méthodologique dans l?interprétation des tragédies et des mythes grecs durant cette période. La première des quatre sections est d?ordre général et méthodologique et débute par le chapitre que Ch. Seal a rédigé pour la ?Propyläen Geschichte der Literature? sous le titre ?Greek Tragedy and Society: A Structuralist Perspective? (?) Structuralisme et sémiotique sont à l?honneur dans le second article: ?Greek Myth as a Semiotic ans Structural System and the Problem of Tragedy? (?). Sans sous-estimer le fait que la tragédie se situe dans la phase intermédiaire entre al culture orale et la culture écrite, Ch. Seal souligne dans le troisième article l?importance capitale du texte écrit (?). Deux chapitres sont ensuite consacrés à Sophocles (?). Pour Euripides l?auteur a sélectionné trois articles concernant les deux tragédies qui lui sont les plus chères: ?Hippolyte? et les ?Bacchantes? (HERMAN VAN LOOY in L?antiquité classique, 1987, pp.309-10). From the library of Prof. Carl Deroux.
