This book studies the idea and practice of reperformance as it affects ancient lyric poetry and drama, and especially how poets and critics use this idea to create a deep temporal sense. All chapters are informed by recent developments in performance studies, and all Greek and Latin is translated.
This book offers a series of studies of the idea and practice of reperformance as it affects ancient lyric poetry and drama. Special attention is paid to the range of phenomena which fall under the heading ''reperformance'', to how poets use both the reality and the ''imaginary'' of reperformance to create a deep temporal sense in their work and to how audiences use their knowledge of reperformance conditions to interpret what they see and hear. The studies range in scope from Pindar and fifth-century tragedy and comedy to the choral performances and reconstructions of the Imperial Age. All chapters are informed by recent developments in performance studies, and all Greek and Latin is translated.
