Book Synopsis Tragedy in Athens by : David Wiles

Download or read book Tragedy in Athens written by David Wiles and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-08-19 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the performance of Greek tragedy in the classical Athenian theatre. David Wiles explores the performance of tragedy as a spatial practice specific to Athenian culture, at once religious and political. After reviewing controversies and archaeological data regarding the fifth-century performance space, Wiles turns to the chorus and shows how dance mapped out the space for the purposes of any given play. The book shows how performance as a whole was organised and, through informative diagrams and accessible analyses, Wiles brings the theatre of Greek tragedy to life.
