520 _aProfessor Kitto's aim in this book is not only to record the developments in the form and style of Greek drama, but to analyse the reason for these changes. He provides illuminating answers to many questions: why did Sophocles develop character-drawing? How and why does it differ from that of Aeschylus? Why are some of Euripides' plots so bad and others so good?. Greek Tragedy is neither a history nor a handbook, but a lucid and penetrating work of criticism which all students of literature will find suggestive and stimulating.
