Library Books:
The library contains a number of print and eBook resources to help you research your topic.
For Example:
From Booklist: “Criticism and interpretation of Greek theater is offered by well-known authors, covering such topics as women's roles in Greek tragedy, Aristophanes as social critic and Euripides as satirist, among many others. Particularly helpful to students will be the prefaces to the articles, each one summarizing the author's main points. -Helen Rosenberg”
From Follett: “Explores all aspects of life in ancient Greece from the advent of the Minoan civilization in Crete to the Roman conquest in 30 B.C., including information on rulers & leaders; economy, trade, & transport; religion & mythology; art, science, & philosophy, & everyday life.”
From Follett: “Presents the history of Greek and Roman theater with a timeline and bibliography for further study.”
From Follett: “A collection of essays on the history of the Greek theatre, and on the wider context of festival culture in which theatrical activity took place in the Greek world. The emphasis is on a fresh interpretation of the documentary material - inscriptions, archaeological remains, and monuments.”
From Follett: “Many dogmas regarding Greek theatre were established by researchers who lacked experience in the mounting of theatrical productions. Clifford Ashby, a theatre historian trained in the practical processes of play production as well as the methods of historical research, takes advantage of his understanding of technical elements to approach his ancient subject from a new perspective. In doing so he challenges many long-held views.”
From Follett: “Ancient Greek tragedy has been an inspiration to Western culture, but the way it was first performed has long remained in question. In The Theatricality of Greek Tragedy, Graham Ley provides an illuminating discussion of key issues relating to the use of the playing space and the nature of the chorus, offering a distinctive impression of the performance of Greek tragedy in the fifth century BCE. Drawing on evidence from the surviving texts of tragedies by Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, Ley explains how scenes with actors were played in the open ground of the orchestra.”
