Without resorting to the jargon often employed by contemporary
critics, this book covers all major aspects and questions raised by
the play. The text contains a thorough examination of the contrast
between Athens and its dramatic opposite, Thebes, a contrast best
represented by the comparison between each city's primary
representative, Theseus or Creon. Wilson offers a radical rereading
of the Oedipus riddle and concludes with a substantial discussion
of the play's (and playwright's) role in providing a political and
moral education for the troubled Athenian polis in the last decade
of the tumultuous fifth century.
Joseph P. Wilson is Associate Professor in the Department of
Foreign Languages and Literatures at the University of
Scranton.
