Language and Character in Euripides' Electra - van Emde Boas, Evert (Postdoctoral Research Associate, Postdoctoral Research Associate, Calleva Research Centre, Magdalen College, University of Oxford)

This study of Euripides' Electra marries linguistics and literary criticism to provide novel insights into the interpretation of the play. Focusing on characterization, it demonstrates how the figures are shaped through their use of language, using new means of analysis to argue for a balanced interpretation and challenge prevailing views.
