Dionysus Resurrected analyzes the global resurgence since the late
1960s of Euripides The Bacchae. By analyzing and contextualizing
these modern day performances, the author reveals striking
parallels between transformational events taking place during the
era of the play s revival and events within the play itself. * Puts
forward a lively discussion of the parallels between
transformational eventsduring the era of the play s revival and
events within the play itself * The first comparative study to
analyse and contextualize performances of The Bacchae that took
place between 1968 and 2009 from the United States, Africa, Latin
America, Europe and Asia * Argues that presentations of the play
not only represent liminal states but also transfer the spectators
into such states * Contends that the play s reflection on various
stages of globalization render the tragedy a contemporary play *
Establishes the importance of The Bacchae within Euripides work as
the only extant tragedy in which the god Dionysus himself appears,
not just as a character but as the protagonist
