Greek Drama V: Studies in the Theatre of the Fifth and Fourth Centuries BCE

Hallie Marshall

0/5 ( ratings)

Drawing together new research from emerging and senior scholars, this selection of papers from the decennial Greek Drama V conference explores the works of the ancient Greek playwrights and showcases new methodologies with which to study them.

Sixteen chapters from a field of international contributors examine a range of topics, from the politics of the ancient theatre, to the role of the chorus, to the earliest history of the reception of Aeschylus' Oresteia. Employing anthropological, historical, and psychological critical methods alongside performance analysis and textual criticism, these studies bring fresh and original interpretations to the plays. Several contributions analyse fragmentary tragedies, while others incorporate ideas on the performance aspect of certain plays. The final chapters deal separately with comedy, naturally focusing on the plays of Aristophanes and Menander. Greek Drama V offers a window into where the academic field of Greek drama is now, and points towards the future scholarship it will produce.
