{"product_id":"9783111621388","title":"Chronology and History of the Attic Theatre: Origins, Fifth Century, Fourth-Century (and Later) Reception","description":"“Chronology and History of the Attic Theatre” presents the results of research carried out by a wide range of scholars specialised in various fields of ancient theatre studies, brought together in dialogue on a common focus: the history of the Attic theatre, from its origins to the fifth century BCE. Each chapter of the book proceeds from a case study, but aims to draw general conclusions in relation to the main theme. Many types of evidence have been collected and analysed: archaeological evidence, especially from the sixth and fifth centuries BCE; epigraphic evidence, from the sixth century BCE to the Hellenistic period; literary evidence from the tragedies, satyr plays and comedies, but also classical and post-classical texts relating to pre-theatrical performances and the first dramatic contests.\u003cbr\u003eThese sources have been used to analyse the different theatrical phenomena from a historical-chronological perspective, looking also at the links between them (or with other artistic expressions) and at the phases of reception and theorisation of classical theatre.\u003cbr\u003eThe book thus offers a wealth of information, updated, rethought and linked in original ways, that can contribute to a better vision of the history of ancient Greek theatre.","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46334625317105,"sku":"9783111621388","price":141.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9783111621388_p0.jpg?v=1765147792","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783111621388","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
