Synopsis
The Oxford Handbook of Greek Drama in the Americas is the first edited collection to discuss the performance of Greek drama across the continents and archipelagos of the Americas from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present. The study and interpretation of the classics have never been restricted by geographical or linguistic boundaries but, in the case of the Americas, long colonial histories have often imposed such boundaries arbitrarily. This volume tracks networks across continents and oceans and uncovers the ways in which the shared histories and practices in the performance arts in the Americas have routinely defied national boundaries. With contributions from classicists, Latin American specialists, theatre and performance theorists, and historians, the Handbook also includes interviews with key writers, including Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott, Charles Mee, and Anne Carson, and leading theatre directors such as Peter Sellars, Carey Perloff, Hector Daniel-Levy, and Heron Coelho. This richly illustrated volume seeks to define the complex contours of the reception of Greek drama in the Americas, and to articulate how these different engagements - at local, national, or trans-continental levels, as well as across borders - have been distinct both from each other, and from those of Europe and Asia., The first edited collection to discuss the presence of Greek drama across the continents and archipelagos of the Americas from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present., The Oxford Handbook of Greek Drama in the Americas is the first edited collection to discuss the performance of Greek drama across the continents and archipelagos of the Americas from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present.

From the jump, the seller saw that I viewed the book, made a nice offer I couldn't refuse and shipped it out in a flash. The packaging was top-notch and handwritten, a really nice touch mind you and perhaps most importantly, the book was ORIGINAL and exactly as described so that's real value for money! PS The "brand new" one I purchased elsewhere before turned out to be a printed PDF 5th edition that came with a 4th edition cover so I'm truly thankful now
