{"product_id":"a-cultural-history-of-tragedy-emily-wilson-9781350416529","title":"A Cultural History of Tragedy in Antiquity","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this volume, tragedy in antiquity is examined synoptically, from its misty origins in archaic Greece, through its central position in the civic life of ancient Athens and its performances across the Greek-speaking world, to its new and very different instantiations in Republican and Imperial Roman contexts. Lively, original essays by eminent scholars trace the shifting dramatic forms, performance environments, and social meanings of tragedy as it was repeatedly reinvented. Tragedy was consistently seen as the most serious of all dramatic genres; these essays trace a sequence of different visions of what the most serious kind of dramatic story might be, and the most appropriate ways of telling those stories on stage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach chapter takes a different theme as its focus: forms and media; sites of performance and circulation; communities of production and consumption; philosophy and social theory; religion, ritual, and myth; politics of city and nation; society and family, and gender and sexuality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emily Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350416525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350416529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.65w x 1.00d","brand":"Emily Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44365405389055,"sku":"9781350416529","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc3c3d8d-f5da-4ebe-8481-02b7073d99d9.jpg?v=1697058338","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-cultural-history-of-tragedy-emily-wilson-9781350416529","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
