Very light foxing to textblock else Fine. ; 288 pages; This remains the major book on Aeschylus' Supplices, its dating and the trilogy to which it belonged. Its first appearance, in 1969, was a response to the publication of a papyrus fragment from Oxyrhynchus in Egypt, which indicated a late production date (the 460s BC) for Aeschylus' play. This upset the previous consensus that it was the earliest Greek tragedy to survive: there was, Garvie argued, no longer good reason to suppose that the play belonged to an early stage in its author's development. The book also examines the evidence for reconstruction of the other, lost plays of the trilogy. Garvie remains convinced that, even without the additional testimony of the papyrus, all the internal from the text of the play points to the 460s, though some have tried to pull it back to the 470s because it feels like an early play. Some of the salutary lessons to be drawn from the discovery of the papyrus have still to be learnt.

"The sanctuary of Poseidon on the isthmus of Corinth was at the crossroads of ancient Greece. Traces of the theatre built there in 400 BC represent one of the earliest examples of theatre achitecture to have survived. As such it is unusually rich in information for the study of early history of Greek theatre architecture." 154p. plates bibliography.index. fold-out chart. Book

3 Vols., 1662pp., orig. cloth. The prestigious series 'Records of Early English Drama' aim is to make available historical transcripts of early English drama, music, ceremonies, dance and other forms of communal public entertainment in Britain from the Middle Ages to 1642, when the Puritans closed theatres and prohibited musical and dramatic performances. This volume contains primary sources for the county of Kent, with introductory material providing context. One chapter gives an overview of why certain forms of entertainment existed locally, and descriptions of various customs throughout the calendar year. This work is extremely interesting for anyone concerned with social history, popular culture and the history of performing arts.
