"Wright's insightful analysis of nearly 200 fragmentary dramas by Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides will lead readers to re-assess not only their dramatic output, but the nature of Greek tragedy itself." --Ian C. Storey, Professor Emeritus of Classics, Trent University, Canada "The book will be of interest to all those working on Greek tragedy." -- Revue des Etudes Anciennes (Bloomsbury Translation), "Wright marshals a mass of references from the best part of a thousand years about a strong tragic tradition which lasted well into the Hellenistic period before declining from Greek into Latin. Numerous lost playwrights are identified, traced as far as maybe with a diligence that is admirable, even formidable." - Arion: A Journal of Humanities and the Classics, Wright's insightful analysis of nearly 200 fragmentary dramas by Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides will lead readers to re-assess not only their dramatic output, but the nature of Greek tragedy itself.

Synopsis
The surviving works of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides have been familiar to readers and theatregoers for centuries; but these works are far outnumbered by their lost plays. Between them these authors wrote around two hundred tragedies, the fragmentary remains of which are utterly fascinating. In this, the second volume of a major new survey of the tragic genre, Matthew Wright offers an authoritative critical guide to the lost plays of the three best-known tragedians. (The other Greek tragedians and their work are discussed in Volume 1: Neglected Authors .) What can we learn about the lost plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides from fragments and other types of evidence? How can we develop strategies or methodologies for 'reading' lost plays? Why were certain plays preserved and transmitted while others disappeared from view? Would we have a different impression of the work of these classic authors - or of Greek tragedy as a whole - if a different selection of plays had survived? This book answers such questions through a detailed study of the fragments in their historical and literary context. Making use of recent scholarly developments and new editions of the fragments, The Lost Plays of Greek Tragedy makes these works fully accessible for the first time.
