Taaffe, Lauren
ARISTOPHANES AND & WOMEN
Routledge. Good in Good dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 041509514X . Underlining in pencil and pen to a few pages. DJ is laminated. ; 2 x 10 x 8 Inches; 256 pages; Working from the combined perspective of feminist literary theory and performance theory Lauren Taaffe takes an unprecedented look at the representation of women in the plays of Aristophanes. Her analysis of the relationship between ancient and contemporary theatrical representation and gender identity brings a new critical perspective to Aristophanic studies. Taaffe discusses the portrayal of women in all of Aristophanes' extant plays but focuses on Lysistrata Thesmophoriazusae and Ecclesiazusae. Her main contention is that Aristophanes' representation of women draws upon the ancient Greek construction of femininity as being inherently artificial and deceptive--a construction of femininity that is directly related to the convention of male actors playing female roles. .

EURIPIDEA
E. J. Brill. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 9004099263 . Underlining in pencil to a few pages. ; This work contains material to supplement volume one of the author's "Loeb Euripides". It consists of two parts: Testimonia Vitae et Artis Selecta and Textual Discussions. The Testimonia ancient notes about the life of Euripides and his career as a tragic poet are printed together with a facing English translation. The Loeb introduction examines this material critically. Equipped with this body of evidence students of Greek tragedy and of ancient biography will be able to assess for themselves the reliability of the biographical tradition in which the author argues too much confidence has been placed by interpreters of plays. The Textual Discussions explain places in the plays of volume one "Cyclops" "Alcestis" and "Medea" where the text adopted by the editor calls for comment. ; Mnemosyne Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum; 181 pages .

Former owner's name on ffep. DJ spine is browned. Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; Oxford University Press Academic Monograph Reprints; 334 pages; One of the major scholars of the 1920s and 30s concerned with the origins of Greek drama Sir Arthur Pickard-Cambridge focused in particular on the evidence derived from archaeological finds and papyri. He describes this history of the earliest stages of Greek drama as "a dispassionate attempt to ascertain historical truth or probability by methods as logical as the subject permits. "The study begins by bringing together what was known of the dithyramb and argues against Aristotle's statement that tragedy originated from the leaders of the dithyramb and against the theory put forward by Sir William Ridgeway that it originated in performances at the tombs of dead heroes. .

Underlining in pencil to a couple of pages. ; Mnemosyne Supplements 314; 580 pages; This volume is arguably one of the most important studies of Euripides to appear in the last decade. Not only does it offer incisive examinations of many of Euripides' extant plays and their influence it also includes seminal examinations of a number of Euripides fragmentary plays. This approach represents a novel and exciting development in Euripidean studies since it is only very recently that the fragmentary plays have begun to appear in reliable and readily accessible editions. The books thirty-two contributors constitute an international 'whos who' of Euripidean studies and Athenian drama and their contributions will certainly feature in the forefront of scholarly discourse on Euripides and Greek drama for years to come. .

OUT OF ATHENS The New Ancient Greeks
Harvard University Press. Good. 2010. Softcover. 0674064070 . Ex-library copy with removed markings. Stiffened wraps. ; The iconoclast of Classics Page duBois refuses to act as border patrol for a sometimes fiercely protected traditional discipline. Instead she incorporates insights from postcolonial psychoanalytic and postmodern theories into her nuanced close readings of ancient Greek texts. Contemporary theory and ancient texts are mutually transformed in the process. Out of Athens sets ancient Greek culture next to the global ancient world of Vedic India the Han dynasty in China and the empires that survived Alexander the Great. DuBois also extends the range of classical studies through illuminating transhistorical juxtapositions Ancients brush elbows with Colette as she performs as a mummy at the Moulin Rouge or with Kirk Douglas as he appears on the silver screen as Spartacus. She reads the poetry of Sappho the tattooed body of the sage Epimenides as well as Athenian tragedy Buddhist texts set in a post-Alexandrian Bactria alongside the work of Judith Butler and Alain Badiou. Page duBois establishes a daring agenda for the next generation of Classicists and for both the intimate friend of Greek texts and the freshly arrived reader makes ancient Greeks new. ; 256 pages .

Underlining in pencil to a few pages. ; "Surviving Greek Tragedy" is a history of the physical survival to the present day of the thirty-two extant tragedies of Aeschylus Sophocles and Euripides. Beginning with the first revival of the plays in the fourth century BC it charts the course of their transmission down the centuries as they passed through the hands of actors readers scholars schoolteachers monks publishers translators theatre directors and so on. Over the course of this 2400-year period the plays were at different times performed copied quoted emended excerpted analysed taught translated censored adapted or merely left to moulder in a library as each successive culture charged with their safe-keeping saw fit. In the last thirty years Greek tragedy has become the medium through which most people encounter the classical heritage and in the book Garland gives extensive coverage to modern stagings of the plays all over the world taking this fascinating story right up to the present. Robert Garland writes in a lively style accessible to students and scholars alike. The book is plentifully illustrated with images from all the periods under discussion--from Greek vase paintings to Deborah Warner's production of Medea at the Queen s Theatre London in 2001.; 286 pages .

Underlining in pencil to a couple of pages. ; This bold and original volume explores themes of ethnicity and ethnogenesis in the societies of the ancient world. It starts with a current view held by many in the social and historical sciences namely that ethnicity is a subjective concept shaped through an interaction with the ethnic other. The thirteen essays collected here analyze historical epigraphic and archaeological source material in order to consider the dynamic nature of ethnic formations over time and range thematically from archaic Greece to early medieval Western Europe. ; Amsterdam Archaeological Studies 13; Folio 13" - 23" tall; 368 pages .

Bassi, Karen & Peter J. Euben & Carla Antonaccio & Noriko Aso & P J. Brendese & Peter Burian & Diskin Clay & Carol Doug
WHEN WORLDS ELIDE Classics Politics Culture
Lexington Books. Fine. 2010. Softcover. 0739122754 . For better or worse the ancient Greeks retain their cultural political and philosophical authority for contemporary educators and actors. Maureen Dowd has talked about the Hellenization of the Bush administration Thucydides has been used as a template to analyze the Iraqi War and the War on Terror Greek drama has been repeatedly performed in sometimes spectacular if unconventional ways while the Trojan War the battle of Thermopylae the Spartans and Alexander have all been the subjects of recent films. Last year the New York Times carried a front page story about "conservatives" taking a "new tack" by establishing "beachheads" for programs in Western Civilization and American Institutions in which the ancient Greeks hold pride of place. The contributors to When Worlds Elide are also invested in having Greek philosophy literature and political theory taken seriously in contemporary debates-whether over modes of interpreting Plato Athenian democracy gender ethnicity or materiality. What distinguishes this book is the substantive range of the essays in it and the generative potentialities of "using" ancient authors and events in analyzing these debates. It begins from the premise that "the Greeks" like "the French" or "the Chinese" obscures the contested histories of ethnic geographic and political formations in favor of an idealized dehistoricized collectivity. The also book also illustrates the ways in which ancient texts must be understood within the history of interpretative practices which means that "the Greeks" are more a moving target than a stable entity and that each generation of interlocutors formulates continually transforming questions readings and arguments. Finally this book supposes that an interrogation of "the Greek legacy" depends on interdisciplinary work where interdisciplinarity functions as a verb-that is something that is always in the process of being achieved. ; Greek Studies: Interdisciplinary Approaches; 152.4 X 0.99 X 9 inches; 490 pages .

Dubois, Page
SLAVES AND OTHER OBJECTS
University of Chicago Press. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 2003. Hardcover. 0226167879 . Underlining in pencil to a few pages. ; Page duBois a classicist known for her daring and originality turns in this new book to one of the most troubling subjects in the study of antiquity: the indispensability of slaves in ancient Greece. DuBois argues that every object and text in the world of ancient Greece bears the marks of slavery and the need to reiterate the distinction between slave and free. And yet the ubiquity of slaves in ancient societies has been overlooked by scholars who idealize antiquity misconstrued by those who view slavery through the lens of race and obscured by the split between historical and philological approaches to the classics. DuBois begins her study by exploring the material culture of slavery including how most museum exhibits erase the presence of slaves in the classical world. Shifting her focus to literature she considers the place of slaves in Plato's Meno Aristotle's Politics Aesop's Fables Aristophanes' Wasps and Euripides' Orestes. She contends throughout that portraying the difference between slave and free as natural was pivotal to Greek concepts of selfhood and political freedom and that scholars who idealize such concepts too often fail to recognize the role that slavery played in their articulation.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 312 pages .
