In addition to its overviews of Harrison's well-known works, this book focuses on areas of his oeuvre that have previously been little explored:
(1) his more recent poems;
(2) the continuation of his relationship with ancient theatre after the landmark Oresteia and Trackers of the 1980s, his evolving dramatic relationship with Euripides, and with French authors (Hugo, Molière, Racine);
(3) his international work including the profound contribution made to his work by his periods of residence abroad, in Africa, North America, Moscow and Prague, and his popularity in French and Italian translation;
(4) his extensive body of poems written for film, television and radio.
Edith Hall is Professor of Classics at King’s College London, and Consultant Director of the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama in Oxford, UK. She has published more than 20 books on ancient Greek culture and its reception, and has worked extensively with Tony Harrison. Most recently she has edited a collection of his prose works, The Inky Digit of Defiance (2017).
