Book Synopsis Greek Tragedy in Action by : Oliver Taplin
Download or read book Greek Tragedy in Action written by Oliver Taplin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-10-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oliver Taplin's seminal study was revolutionary in drawing out the significance of stage action in Greek tragedy at a time when plays were often read purely as texts, rather than understood as performances. Professor Taplin explores nine plays, including Aeschylus' agamemnon and Sophocles' Oedipus the King. The details of theatrical techniques and stage directions, used by playwrights to highlight key moments, are drawn out and related to the meaning of each play as a whole. With extensive translated quotations, the essential unity of action and speech in Greek tragedy is demonstrated. Now firmly established as a classic text, Greek Tragedy in Action is even more relevant today, when performances of Greek tragedies and plays inspired by them have had such an extraordinary revival around the world.

Download or read book Greek Tragedy written by H. D. F. Kitto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic work not only records developments in the form and style of Greek drama, it also analyses the reasons for these changes. It provides illuminating answers to questions that have confronted generations of students, such as: * why did Aeschylus introduce the second actor? * why did Sophocles develop character drawing? * why are some of Euripides' plots so bad and others so good? Greek Tragedy is neither a history nor a handbook, but a penetrating work of criticism which all students of literature will find suggestive and stimulating.
