Abstract

In the pages that follow there has been no attempt to cover the entire subject of imitations of Greek tragedy in English literature. Four prominet literary works, considered as imitations of Greek tragedy, have been selected for discussion as to their imitative qualities. The guiding principles for this discussion were gathered from a perusal and analysis of the works of Sophocles, Aeschylus, and Euripides. Much valuable information was also gained from The Tragic Drama of the Greeks, by A. E. Haigh.
