Novelizing Greek Tragedy

Novelizing Greek Tragedy

Greek tragedy has been declared dead time and again - yet it continues to return in new and unexpected forms. Novelizing Greek Tragedy examines this persistence by tracing how ancient tragic structures re-emerge in contemporary anglophone novels and postcolonial performances. Moving across genres, media, and cultural markets, Anna Frieda Richter follows tragedy's migration from the classical stage into the global literary marketplace. Situating these rewritings within processes of anglobalization, the book argues that tragedy today functions simultaneously as cultural heritage, marketable form, and site of political contestation. Contemporary adaptations do not restore tragedy as a static legacy; they actively reconfigure it to negotiate questions of justice, violence, temporality, and global inequality in the twenty-first century.
