Drawing together new research from emerging and senior scholars,
this selection of papers from the decennial Greek Drama V
conference (Vancouver, 2017) explores the works of the ancient
Greek playwrights and showcases new methodologies with which to
study them. Sixteen chapters from a field of international
contributors examine a range of topics, from the politics of the
ancient theatre, to the role of the chorus, to the earliest history
of the reception of Aeschylus' Oresteia. Employing anthropological,
historical, and psychological critical methods alongside
performance analysis and textual criticism, these studies bring
fresh and original interpretations to the plays. Several
contributions analyse fragmentary tragedies, while others
incorporate ideas on the performance aspect of certain plays. The
final chapters deal separately with comedy, naturally focusing on
the plays of Aristophanes and Menander. Greek Drama V offers a
window into where the academic field of Greek drama is now, and
points towards the future scholarship it will produce.
