Sažetak
Recent scholarship has recognized the importance of Greek drama, particularly Euripides, for the development of early modern tragedy. This recognition is increasingly registered even in the studies of the English Renaissance, traditionally dominated by the narrative of almost exclusively Senecan influence. In these traditional narratives, insufficient attention was paid to the agency of print and to the dissemination of many editions that would have made Greek drama available both in the original and, often, in various Latin and vernacular translations. My contribution to “The Agents of Contact” symposium extends this recent scholarly interest by considering a mid sixteenth- century adaptation of Euripides’ Hecuba by the Croatian playwright Marin Držić (c. 1508-1567). His Hecuba, first performed in Ragusa in 1559, was not published in print until the nineteenth century, but its early circulation shows how the media of print and manuscript interacted within the cultural community of the Ragusan Republic to ensure an active participation of this city state in the cultural moment of the European Renaissance.
