Metapoetry in Euripides - Torrance, Isabelle (Assistant Professor of Classics, University of Notre Dame)

A detailed study of the self-conscious narrative devices within Euripidean drama and how these are interwoven with issues of thematic importance, social, theological, or political. Torrance argues that Euripides employed a complex system of metapoetic strategies in order to draw the audience's attention to the novelty of his compositions.
