Becoming Female: The Male Body in Greek Tragedy
Katrina Cawthorn
Reconsiders the figure of the male tragic hero, making use of both feminist and body theory. This book argues that the theme of becoming female, and the resulting failure to circumscribe the feminine and return to any secure concept of masculinity, is a discernible feature of the genre of tragedy.
