Performing Epic or Telling Tales

ISBN: 9780198846581 出版年：2020 页码：170 Macintosh, Fiona Mcconnell, Justine Oxford University Press

From spoken word to ballet, ancient Greek and Roman epics regularly provide both the subjects and the form for emergent and seasoned theatre makers. This volume examines the 'why' of this epic turn, exploring not only the translation and scholarly histories of the epics, but also earlier performance traditions and recent theoretical debates.
