DescriptionEuripides and the Poetics of Nostalgia Gary S. Meltzer (Author) Publisher: Cambridge University Press; 1 edition (16 Oct. 2006) Language: English ASIN: B000SIWO8K Page Numbers Source ISBN: 0521858739 Review Review of the hardback: 'Although Euripidean dramas can be loaded with piercing scepticism and cynicism, they also express a yearning for moral codes of the heroic past, where the truth was unchangeable and transparent, and justice authorised by gods, as opposed to relativist truths gained by sophistic argumentation. … The writer parallels the Athenian situation with modern Western, especially American, change in social and cultural conduct, the war on terrorism and the rapidly emerging change from written book culture to the information age. … With its detailed bibliography and indexes, and quotations in original Greek with translations, this book is valuable for scholars of ancient drama as well as for those studying early philosophy.' De novis libris iudicia Book Description Using deconstructionist and feminist theory, this 2006 book investigates the theme of the lost voice of truth and justice in four plays by Euripides. It sheds light on the source of Euripides' tragic power and enduring appeal, and reveals the surprising relevance of his works for our own day.
