This book offers a series of studies of the idea and practice of
reperformance as it affects ancient lyric poetry and drama. Special
attention is paid to the range of phenomena which fall under the
heading 'reperformance', to how poets use both the reality and the
'imaginary' of reperformance to create a deep temporal sense in
their work and to how audiences use their knowledge of
reperformance conditions to interpret what they see and hear. The
studies range in scope from Pindar and fifth-century tragedy and
comedy to the choral performances and reconstructions of the
Imperial Age. All chapters are informed by recent developments in
performance studies, and all Greek and Latin is translated.
