Features new essays on Sophoclean drama that go well beyond the current state of scholarship on Sophocles
Presents readings that historicize Sophocles in relation to the social, cultural, and intellectual world of fifth century Athens
Seeks to place later interpretations and adaptations of Sophocles in their historical context
