Performance, Reception, Iconography assembles twenty-three papers from an international group of scholars who engage with, and develop, the seminal work of Oliver Taplin. Oliver Taplin has for over three decades been at the forefront of innovation in the study of Greek literature, and of the Greek theatre, tragic and comic, in particular. The studies in this volume centre on three key areas - the performance of Greek literature, the interactions between literature and the visual realm of iconography, and the reception and appropriation of Greek literature, and of Greek culture more widely, in subsequent historical periods.
Industry Reviews
Literary scholarship has sometimes been accused of turning a blind eye to the realities of politics and power, but this and other essays in Performance are keenly aware of the fact that drama, even when it becomes "classical" does not inhabit a world of its own, but remains open to fresh interpretations, even wilful exploration. * Richard Rutherford, Times Literary Supplement *
