Very light shelfwear to DJ. Remainder mark to top of the textblock. ; Sather Classical Lectures; 1.12 x 9.25 x 6.25 Inches; 384 pages; Modern readings of ancient Athenian drama tend to view it as a presentation of social or moral problems, as if ancient drama showed the same realism seen on the present-day stage. Such views are belied by the plays themselves, in which supremely violent actions occur in a legendary time and place distinct both from reality and from the ethics of ordinary life. Offering fresh readings of Attic tragedy, Anne Pippin Burnett urges readers to peel away twentieth-century attitudes toward vengeance and reconsider the revenge tragedies of ancient Athens in their own context. After a consideration of how our view of Elizabethan drama has obscured an accurate view of the ancient tragedies, Burnett reviews early Greek notions of vengeance as expressed in the Odyssey, Heracles' tales, Pindar's odes, Attic judicial processes, and the legend of Harmodius and Aristogeiton. Then, setting aside post-Platonic and Judeo-Christian notions of criminality, she provides new interpretations of all the Attic tragedies in which revenge is a central theme: Aeschylus' Libation Bearers, Sophocles' Ajax, Electra, and Tereus, and Euripides' Children of Heracles, Hecuba, Medea, Electra, and Orestes. Burnett shows that for the ancients, revenge meant a redress of imbalances in both human and divine worlds, achieved through human actions. The vengeful heroines thus appear in a new light. Electra, Hecuba, Medea, and others cease to be the picture of depravity in dramas that are grotesque and sensational, and are instead representative human figures who respond with grandeur to the outsize demands of necessity and supernatural powers.

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.
