In this exploration of four plays by Aeschylus, Euripides,
Machiavelli and Shakespeare, Mera Flaumenhaft argues that, by
revising well-known myths or histories, each playwright reshapes
the community for which he writes. Emphasizing the context in which
the plays have been read and performed, she examines the moral and
political effects of each drama and its production, from the role
of classical tragedy in MAINtaining the classical city, to the role
of the modern history play in forming and maintaining the
nation-state. Flaumenhaft demonstrates how the playwright's
presentation of political themes within each drama relates to his
view of the broadly political function of theater in his society.
