Beginning with the first revival of the plays in the fourth century BC, it charts the course of their transmission down the centuries as they passed through the hands of actors, readers, scholars, schoolteachers, monks, publishers, translators and theatre directors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver the course of this 2,400-year period, the plays were at different times performed, copied, quoted, emended, excerpted, analysed, taught, translated, censored, adapted, or merely left to moulder in a library, as each successive culture charged with their safe-keeping saw fit. In the last thirty years Greek tragedy has become the medium through which most people encounter the classical heritage, and in the book Garland gives extensive coverage to modern stagings of the plays all over the world, taking this fascinating story right up to the present. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFully illustrated with images from all the periods under discussion--from Greek vase paintings to Deborah Warner's production of Medea at the Queen's Theatre, London.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Garland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0715631233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780715631232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.22w x 0.77d","brand":"Robert Garland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44212983759103,"sku":"9780715631232","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6dd7f5e1-3bac-4537-baa3-94efdfd03f67.jpg?v=1692111393","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/surviving-greek-tragedy-robert-garland-9780715631232","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
