Voice connects our embodied existence with the theoretical worlds
we construct. This book argues that the voice is a crucial element
of mortal identity in the tragedies of Aeschylus. It first presents
conceptions of the voice in ancient Greek poetry and philosophy,
understanding it in its most literal and physical form, as well as
through the many metaphorical connotations that spring from it.
Close readings then show how the tragedies and fragments of
Aeschylus gain meaning from the rubric and performance of voice,
concentrating particularly on the Oresteia. Sarah Nooter
demonstrates how voice - as both a bottomless metaphor and
performative agent of action - stands as the prevailing
configuration through which Aeschylus' dramas should be heard. This
highly original book will interest all those interested in
classical literature as well as those concerned with material
approaches to the interpretation of texts.
