Book Synopsis The Political Background of Aeschylean Tragedy by : Anthony J. Podlecki
Book excerpt: "The seven extant plays of Aeschylus were not written in a vacuum, but rather against the background of a momentous period in Greek history, by a dramatist profoundly concerned with the political and military events of his time. This book examines each play against that background. In so doing it casts a searching light on both the period and the dramatist" -- Book jacket.
