Beschreibung:
Melinda Powers lives in New York City, where she is an assistant professor of English at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY. Combining her interests in historiography, performance theory, and ancient and contemporary theatre, she has published articles on the adaptation and production of ancient Greek drama. Athenian Tragedy in Performance is her first book.
Foregrounding critical questions about the tension between the study of drama as literature versus the study of performance, Melinda Powers investigates the methodological problems that arise in some of the latest research on ancient Greek theatre. She examines key issues and debates about the fifth-century theatrical space, audience, chorus, performance style, costuming, properties, gesture, and mask, and aims to understand her subject better by exploring the shared historical problems that all scholars confront as they interpret and explain Athenian tragedy.
