Greek Tragedy and the Emotions (Routledge Revivals): An Introductory Study

By W.B. Stanford

Book Overview

There are relatively few accessible studies of the precise dynamics of emotion in the Athenian theatre. In Greek Tragedy and the Emotions, first published in 1993, W.B. Stanford reviews the evidence for 'emotionalism' - as the great Attic playwrights presented it, as the actors and choruses expressed it, and as their audiences reacted to it. Greek terms are transliterated and all quotations are in translation, so it will appeal particularly to those unfamiliar with Classical Greek.
