Description

Explore the visual and aural world of classical Athens in this updated and extended edition of The Greek Sense of Theatre. Scholar and practitioner J.Michael Walton provides a revised approach to understanding Greek drama by focusing on the stage image and masked acting. While modern perspectives often treat Greek drama as a performance-based medium rather than a purely literary one, Walton argues that the nature of the visual elements remains vital to understanding the art form. This book covers the full spectrum of classical drama, from the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides to the old and new comedies of Aristophanes and Menander. It is a valuable resource for those studying the history and criticism of performing arts.
