Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Editing Aeschylus: A Criticism It will be admitted that the aim of a serious student should be to ascertain some part of truth; and that if he undertakes to produce general editions of a Greek classic, such as those we are now to consider, his chief business must be really to discover what his author wrote and meant. In the preface to the Seven against Thebes, Dr. Verrall informs his readers that the 'Introduction and explanatory notes are in the main the product of independent work.' The nature of the independent work we shall examine by-and-bye; but we may allow that as a plan of study independent work is admirable enough. Only we have a right to expect the student, before presenting an edition, to have consulted and weighed the views of previous workers in his field. Else we must demand that he shall by his own labour have made himself master at least of all the materials that previous workers brought to bear. To the materials that may serve for elucidation and emendation of Aeschylus a limit could hardly be defined.

Download or read book The Reception of Aeschylus Plays through Shifting Models and Frontiers written by Stratos Constantinidis and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reception of Aeschylus' Plays through Shifting Models and Frontiers addresses the need for an integrated approach to the study and staging of Aeschylus’ plays. It offers an invigorating discussion about the transmission and reception of his plays and explores the interrelated tasks of editing, translating, adapting and remaking them for the page and the stage. The volume seeks to reshape current debates about the place of his tragedies in the curriculum and the repertory in a scholarly manner that is accessible and innovative. Each chapter makes a significant and original contribution to its selected topic, but the collective strength of the volume rests on its simultaneous appeal to readers in theatre studies, classical studies, performance studies, comparative studies, translation studies, adaptation studies, and, naturally, reception studies.
Download or read book Aeschylus Libation Bearers written by C. W. Marshall and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Libation Bearers is the 'middle' play in the only extant tragic trilogy to survive from antiquity, Aeschylus' Oresteia, first produced in 458 BCE. This introduction to the play will be useful for anyone reading it in Greek or in translation. Drawing on his wide experience teaching about performance in the ancient world, C. W. Marshall helps readers understand how the play was experienced by its ancient audience. His discussion explores the impact of the chorus, the characters, theology, and the play's apparent affinities with comedy. The architecture of choral songs is described in detail. The book also investigates the role of revenge in Athenian society and the problematic nature of Orestes' matricide. Libation Bearers immediately entered the Athenian visual imagination, influencing artistic depictions on red-figured vases, and inspiring plays by Euripides and Sophocles. This study looks to the later plays to show how 5th-century audiences understood Libation Bearers. Modern reception of the play is integrated into the analysis. The volume includes a full range of ancillary material, providing a list of relevant red-figure vase illustrations, a glossary of technical terms, and a chronology of ancient and modern theatrical versions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of the Agamemnon: Being a Criticism of Dr. Verrall's Theory of the Plot of Aeschylus Agamemnon and Dr. Verrall's Reply It was never my good fortune to meet Dr Verrall; but the spell of his personality must have struck to the heart of all who have read his essays. Whatever the historians of scholarship may finally decide as to the tenability of his theories or the value of his methods of criticism, one thing is certain. He was a great and moving force. He must have brought home to many for the first time, as with the shock of a new discovery, that the works of the Greek dramatists are not a matter of text and grammar, of moods and tenses, but real literature, to be read and criticised as such. Where formerly editors gave us readings, he gave us ideas. It is now twelve years since I submitted to him an essay challenging his interpretation of the plot of the Agamemnon, and putting forward a new solution. I did so with some little hesitation. He was one of the foremost scholars of the day, and 1 a particularly undistinguished undergraduate of a university not his own. In the interest of examining his views and of propounding my own, I had expressed myself freely,and yet when I tried to rewrite my paper in less forcible terms, I could not do it. Dr Verrall was, I felt, a scholar who challenged criticism, and revelled in it. I always think of him as of some strong swimmer battling in the breakers, borne upon the wave-crests, and shouting with the delight of combat. His mission was to inspire, not to convince, and I believed that, if my essay showed that he had aroused my interest, he would forgive any crudity of expression. And so, when, moved by an impulse which I could not check, I send him my essay, I was not disappointed. I had not, however, been prepared tor the full extent of his generosity. I had thought that perhaps he would acknowledge my letter in a few kind words. It would have been easy for him, and I could not expect him to do more than, to say that he hoped, if I came to Cambridge, I would call and see him.

Download or read book The Artistry of Aeschylus and Zeami written by Mae J. Smethurst and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By means of a cross-cultural analysis of selected examples of early Japanese and early Greek drama, Mae Smethurst enhances our appreciation of each form. While using the methods of a classicist to increase our understanding of no as literary texts, she also demonstrates that the fifteenth-century treatises of Zeami--an important playwright, actor, critic, and teacher of no--offer fresh insight into Aeschylus' use of actors, language, and various elements of stage presentation. Relatively little documentation apart from the texts of the plays is available for the Greek theater of the fifth century B.C., but Smethurst uses documentation on no, and evidence from no performances today, to suggest how presentations of the Persians could have been so successful despite the play's lack of dramatic confrontation. Aeschylean theater resembles that of Zeami in creating its powerful emotional and aesthetic effect through a coherent organization of structural elements. Both playwrights used such methods as the gradual intensification of rhythmic and musical effects, an increase in the number and complexity of the actors' movements, and a progressive focusing of attention on the main actors and on costumes, masks, and props during the course of the play.

Download or read book The Agamemnon of Aeschylus written by David Raeburn and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-11-18 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commentary discusses Aeschylus' play Agamemnon (458 BC), which is one of the most popular of the surviving ancient Greek tragedies, and is the first to be published in English since 1958. It is designed particularly to help students who are tackling Aeschylus in the original Greek for the first time, and includes a reprint of D. L. Page's Oxford Classical Text of the play. The introduction defines the place of Agamemnon within the Oresteia trilogy as a whole, and the historical context in which the plays were produced. It discusses Aeschylus' handling of the traditional myth and the main ideas which underpin his overall design: such as the development of justice and the nature of human responsibility; and it emphasizes how the power of words, seen as ominous speech-acts which can determine future events, makes a central contribution to the play's dramatic momentum. Separate sections explore Aeschylus' use of theatrical resources, the role of the chorus, and the solo characters. Finally there is an analysis of Aeschylus' distinctive poetic style and use of imagery, and an outline of the transmission of the play from 458 BC to the first printed editions.
Download or read book Aeschylus Suppliants written by Alan H. Sommerstein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the themes of Aeschylus' Suppliants - the treatment of refugees, forced marriage, ethnic and cultural clashes, decisions on war and peace, political deception - resonate strongly in the world of today. The play was, however, for many years neglected in comparison to Aeschylus' other works, probably in part because it was wrongly believed to be very early and hence 'primitive', and this edition, aimed primarily at advanced undergraduates and graduate students, is the first since 1889 to offer an accessible English commentary based on the Greek text. This provides particular help with the peculiarities of tragic, especially Aeschylean, Greek. An extensive introduction discusses the Danaid myth and its many variations, the four-play production (tetralogy) of which Suppliants formed part, the underlying social and religious issues and presuppositions, the conditions of performance, and the place of Suppliants in Aeschylus' work, among other topics.
