Description:
Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1984. 1st ed. 316p. Original blue gilt titled hard bound with pictorial dust wrps. Upper edge a little bit rust stained. Stamp on free endpaper. ?Professor Steiner?s interesting ?Antigones? (?) is not an account of the Antigone theme and motif in western literature (?) though by judicious selection he documents and illustrates much of its range (?). Nor is it quite an analysis of the Antigone myth (?). It is rather, in his own words, ?a study of the interactions between a major text and its interpretations across time?, in which he considers interpretations of Sophocles? Antigone in the field of moral philosophy, political theory and metaphysics as well as poetry and drama, and among scholars, critics and translators of Sophocles. In the first of three long untitled chapters, Steiner discusses the impact of Sophocles ?Antigone? on the nineteenth century, especially on Hegel, Kierkegaard, Hölderlin and (?) Goethe. In the second, he considers a series of aspects including…

Description:
NY: Oxford University Press, 1984. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. This book examines the far-reaching legacy of one of the great myths of classical antiquity. According to Greek legend, Antigone, daughter of Oedipus, secretly buried her brother in defiance of the orders of Creon, king of Thebes. Creon sentenced Antigone to death, but, before the order could be executed, she committed suicide. The theme of the conflict between Antigone and Creon - between the state and the individual, between young and old, between men and women - has captured the Western imagination for more than 2,000 years. Antigone and Creon are as alive in the politics and poetics of our own day as they were in ancient Athens. Here, Steiner examines the treatment of the Antigone theme in Western art, literature and thought, leading us to look again at the unique influence Greek myths exercise on twentieth-century culture.
