This is the first book-length survey of tragic costume to be
published for over forty years. The core of the book focuses on
tragic costume in its original performance context of fifth-century
Athens, but the implications of subsequent uses in Roman and more
recent performances are also taken into consideration. Most
importantly, the reader is invited to think about how tragic
costume worked as a language in ancient performance and was
manipulated physically and verbally in order to create meaning.
Elements of this language are shown through a series of test cases
from a range of ancient tragedies. All ancient passages are given
in translation and the bookincludes a glossary of terms.
