Sophocles' Oedipus Plays (Bn) (Oop) (Bloom's Notes)

This edition of Bloom's Notes examines the three Oedipus plays of Sophocles: Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone. In his introduction Harold Bloom states, "All three plays abound in ambiguities, pragmatically in ironies, but the irony or ambiguous wordplay of any one of them is not at all that of the other two." Study the Oedipus plays with the numerous critical essays in this text. This series is edited by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University; Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Professor of English, New York University Graduate School. These texts are the ideal aid for all students of literature, presenting concise, easy-to-understand biographical, critical, and bibliographical information on a specific literary work.
