Over the course of a decade, Sheila Murnaghan has uncovered and amplified the role of the chorus member within the tragic plot. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eSharing in the Action\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection that brings together bold reinterpretations and new and nuanced perspectives on how the choral odes of tragedy were in close dialogue with the other forms of choral poetry out of which tragedy evolved and that persisted alongside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSheila Murnaghan is Alfred Reginald Allen Memorial Professor of Greek in the Department of Classical Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.
