Hamartia: The Concept of Error in the Western Tradition : Essays in Honor of John M. Crossett (Texts and Studies in Religion ; V. 16)

This is a collection of 13 essays which focus on a theme to which Crossett dedicated much of his highly interdisciplinary research. Six essays concern "Hamartia" in Greek works by Herodotus, Plato, Euripides, and others; two deal with the concept of error in the Christian theology of Boethius and Aquinas; and five examine "Hamartia" in 14th-19th-century English works by Chaucer, Shakespeare, Coleridge, and George Eliot.
