DJ spine a bit browned. ; In an effort to remove the plays of ancient Greece from the library and place them firmly in the theatre that gave them being this study examines each component of the plays - audience chorus actors costume and speech - in the context of its own society and of theatre in general. Peter Arnott discusses Greek drama not as an antiquarian study but as a living art form. He removes the plays from the library and places them firmly in the theatre that gave them being. Invoking the practical realities of stagecraft he illuminates the literary patterns of the plays the performance disciplines and the audience responses. Each component of the productions - audience chorus actors costume speech - is examined in the context of its own society and of theatre practice in general with examples from other cultures. Professor Arnott places great emphasis on the practical staging of Greek plays and how the buildings themselves imposed particular constraints on actors and writers alike. Above all he sets out to make practical sense of the construction of Greek plays and their organic relationship to their original setting. ; 147 pages . Oxford Clarendon Press hardcover

BARBARIANS IN GREEK COMEDY
Southern Illinois University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1986. Hardcover. 0809312484 . Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Minor Foxing to DJ. ; Greeks divided the world into Greece vs. The land of foreigners into Hellenes vs. Barbarians seeing their country as a bastion of culture learning and military might surrounded by a sea of the un�civilized. Long shows how comedy expressed the Greek feeling of superiority over the barbarians how it dealt with the so-called barbarian-Hellene antithesis. The result is a contribution to the study of ancient Greek comedy�both the comedy itself and the beliefs the prejudices the limitations and the variety in the society from which the plays emerged. The comedians� responses to the barbarians ranged from idealization to neutrality to raw racism. Although contemptuous of barbarians the Hellenes could not keep elements of foreign culture from entering their own. Long�s major contention is that the Greek reaction to Oriental and other foreign influence can be seen in the treat�ment of barbarians in Greek comedy. ; 240 pages .

IMAGES OF THE GREEK THEATRE
British Museum Publications. Very Good. 1995. Softcover. 0714122076 . Gift inscription from Eric Handley to G. P. Goold and Philippa Goold on ffep. Light foxing to top of textblock. ; Classical Bookshelf; 127 pages; Classical Greek theatre survives not only in plays that we still read and perform but also in artistic images. Depictions of performances actors and their masks were frequent in classical times and continued to appear even beyond the fifth and sixth centuries A. D. long after the plays had ceased to be staged. These artifacts together with the remains of actual theatres and the texts of surviving plays give us an idea of how Greek drama must have appeared in its heyday. In this book Richard Green and Eric Handley outline the history of the Greek theatre drawing on the evidence supplied by the theatres themselves the surviving plays and artistic artifacts. They show and discuss painted pottery notably from fifth-century Athens and fourth-century southern Italy that records scenes from plays. Terra-cotta figures mosaics paintings metalware and gems also help them build a picture of Greek theatre. All these artifacts tell the story of Greek drama as seen through the eyes of those admirers who kept its classic moments and traditions alive and who found a place for it in the society of their own times. They help the modern playgoer and reader to imagine what a visit to the theatre in classical Greece might have been like. ; Signed by One Author . British Museum Publications paperback

THE NEW COMEDY OF GREECE AND ROME
Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1989. Hardcover. 0521303648 . Very faint foxing else book is fine. ; 196 pages; In writing this book on the plays of New Comedy the author's aim is to fill a gap in the existing literature by concentrating on what one might look for in watching and reading these plays and why such an exercise might be pleasurable. The social comedy of Menander Plautus and Terence provided a style of comic drama which was to prove the root of all subsequent western comedy. Dr Hunter gives a literary account of this drama placing it in its ancient context and then ranging over a number of specific topics and themes: the dramatic craft of the poets their exploration of how to give variety to stereotyped plots and characters the presentation of women the use of language and themes from tragedy the place of moralising and philosophy.

Burnett Anne Pippin
THE ART OF BACCHYLIDES
Harvard University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1985. First Edition. Hardcover. 0674046668 . Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Foxing to top of textblock. Very light shelfwear to DJ with 1 tiny chip ; Martin Classical Lectures 29; 224 pages; Anne Burnett shows us the art of Bacchylides in the context of Greek lyric traditions. She discusses the beginnings of choral poetry and the functions of the choral myth; she describes the purposes of the victory song in particular and the practices of Bacchylides and Pindar as they fulfilled their victory commissions. In analyzing individual poems Burnett's approach is two-fold for each ode is seen as a choral performance reflecting archaic cult practice while it is also studied as the expression of a particular poetic vision and sensibility. Thus the formal elements of the Bacchylidean victory songs are recognized as the response of a chorus which must give semi-religious praise to a noble athlete or prize-winning prince in times of increasing democracy. At the same time an artistry and an ethic peculiar to Bacchylides are discovered in the manipulation of fictions and mythic materials. . Harvard University Press hardcover
