"Portrayals of Antigone in Portugal gathers a collection of essays on the Portuguese drama rewritings of this Theban myth produced in the 20th and 21st centuries. For each of the cases analysed, the Portuguese historical, political and cultural context is described. This perspective is expanded through a dialogue with coeval European events. As concerns Portugal, this results principally in political and feminist approaches to the texts. Since the importation of the Sophoclean model is often indirect, the volume includes comparisons with intermediate sources, namely French (Cocteau, Anouilh) and Spanish (Mar毃a Zambrano), which were extremely influential on the many and diversified versions written in Portugal during this period. Contributors to this volume are: In綣s Alves Mendes, Rosa And漉jar, Maria do C歋u Fialho, Maria de F榥tima Silva, Maria Fernanda Brasete, Lorna Hardwick, Aurora L漃pez, Carlos Morais, Konstantinos Nikoloutsos, Andr歋s Poci鄚a, 槎lia Rosa Rodrigues, Nuno Sim鄤es Rodrigues, and St歋phanie Urdician."--
