Moving Images, Moving Bodies
At the end of the nineteenth century, under the influence of chronophotography and the arguments of the French musicologist Maurice Emmanuel, it was believed that ancient dance could be recovered for the modern world by animating the figures on ancient Greek vases. This led to a flurry of practitioners of so-called ‘Grecian’ dance across Europe, the US and the British Empire. At the beginning of the twentieth century, moving like a Greek became a…
Seamus Heaney and the Classics
The death of Seamus Heaney in 2013 is an appropriate point to honour the Irish poet’s contribution to classical reception in modern poetry in English; this is the first volume dedicated to that subject, though occasional essays have appeared in the past. The volume comprises literary criticism by scholars of classical reception and literature in English, and has some input from critics who are also poets and from theatre practitioners on their in…
Epic Performances from the Middle Ages into the Twenty-First Century
Greek and Roman epic poetry has always provided creative artists with a rich storehouse of themes: this volume is the first systematic attempt to chart its afterlife across a range of diverse performance traditions, with analysis ranging widely across time, place, genre, and academic and creative disciplines.
Modern stage design and Greek antiquity
There are numerous examples of the ways in which encounters with ancient Greek material culture have inspired innovation in modern scenic design and performance styles. Léon Bakst’s trip to Greece in the first decade of the twentieth century, which resulted in his now-iconic designs for the Ballets Russes’ Narcisse, L’Après midi d’un Faune, and Daphnis and Chloé, fuelled a huge wave of Modernist energy devoted to the translation of ideas of Greek…

New Worlds, Old Dreams?
The Oxford Handbook of Greek Drama in the Americas is the first edited collection to discuss the performance of Greek drama across the continents and archipelagos of the Americas from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present. The study and interpretation of the classics have never been restricted by geographical or linguistic boundaries but, in the case of the Americas, long colonial histories have often imposed such boundaries arbi…
The Oxford Handbook of Greek Drama in the Americas
The Oxford Handbook of Greek Drama in the Americas is the first collection of essays to discuss the presence of Greek drama across the continents and archipelagos of the Americas from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present. The classics have never been tied by geographical nor linguistic boundaries, and in the case of the Americas long colonial histories have often imposed those boundaries arbitrarily. This compendious volume trac…
The Ancient Greeks and the â Naturalâ
Choruses, Ancient and Modern
The ancient singing and dancing chorus has exerted a powerful influence in the modern world. This is the first book to look systematically at the points of similarity and difference between ancient and modern choruses, across time and place, in their ancient contexts in modern theatre, opera, dance, musical theatre, and in political debate
Choral Mediations in Greek Tragedy
This volume explores how the choruses of Greek tragedy creatively combined media and discourses to generate their own specific forms of meaning. The contributors analyse choruses as fictional, religious and civic performers; as combinations of text, song and dance; and as objects of reflection in themselves, in relation and contrast to the choruses of comedy and melic poetry. Drawing on earlier analyses of the social context of Greek drama, the n…
Translation
In Dryden's Preface to his translation of Ovid's Epistles (1680), he proffers a tripartite typology of translation: “metaphrase” – the “literal”; “paraphrase” – a translation where overall sense predominates over a word‐for‐word rendering; and “imitation” – where liberty is taken with the text in order to adapt it to the present context.
Performance Histories
This chapter contains section titled: Practising Performance Histories Mapping the Oedipus with Mounet-Sully Mapping Oedipus with Martha Graham Oedipus Tyrannos as Outsider
Agamemnon in Performance
Greek Tragedy and the British Theatre 1660-1914
This lavishly illustrated book offers the first full, interdisciplinary investigation of the historical evidence for the presence of ancient Greek tragedy in the post-Restoration British theatre, where it reached a much wider audience - including women - than had access to the original texts. Archival research has excavated substantial amounts of new material, both visual and literary, which is presented in chronological order. But the fundamenta…

Dying Acts
The Cambridge Companion to Greek Tragedy
As a creative medium, ancient Greek tragedy has had an extraordinarily wide influence: many of the surviving plays are still part of the theatrical repertoire, and texts like Agamemnon, Antigone, and Medea have had a profound effect on Western culture. This Companion is not a conventional introductory textbook but an attempt, by seven distinguished scholars, to present the familiar corpus in the context of modern reading, criticism, and performan…
