The Origins of Theater in Ancient Greece and Beyond examines the
evidence for the pre-history and origin of drama. The belief that
drama developed from religious ritual has been commonplace since
the time of Aristotle but there is little agreement on just how
this happened. Recently, scholars have even challenged the
historical connection between drama and ritual. This volume is the
most thorough examination on the origins of Greek drama to date. It
brings together seventeen essays by leading scholars in a variety
of fields, including classical archaeology, iconography, cultural
history, theater history, philosophy, and religion. Though it
primarily focuses up on ancient Greece, the volume includes
comparative studies of ritual drama from ancient Egypt, Japan, and
medieval Europe. Collectively, the essays show how the relationship
of drama to ritual is one of the most controversial, complex, and
multi-faceted questions of modern times.
