This calls for a revision of traditional views and historiographies of dramatic literature: for example, how did action come to define drama, and how did these genre developments influence reception? Above all, what constitutes drama when action is as optional as it apparently was in the 470s-460s BCE? This book rethinks Aeschylean theatre as a practice that combines elements of storytelling with enacted responses to them, and reads the literary remains of this practice from cross-generic perspectives (ancient, modern, and transhistorical). Recognizing the importance of embedded narratives in Aeschylus helps us adapt our poetological frameworks to his art at last, rather than vice versa.Classical Studies E-Books Online, Collection 2024.Mnemosyne, Supplements ;491.Perspectives on Genre and PoeticsClassical StudiesGreek & Latin LiteratureLiterature and Cultural StudiesLiterary criticism.lcgftClassical Studies.Greek & Latin Literature.Literature and Cultural Studies.025.4/3Gianvittorio-Ungar Laura474597NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910978247003321Narratives at Play in Aeschylus4324552UNINA
