Beginning with the earliest examples of 'dramatic' presentation in the epic cycles and reaching through to the latter days of the Roman Empire and beyond, this 2007 Companion covers many aspects of these broad presentational societies. Dramatic performances that are text-based form only one part of cultures where presentation is a major element of all social and political life. Individual chapters range across a two thousand year timescale, and include specific chapters on acting traditions, masks, properties, playing places, festivals, religion and drama, comedy and society, and commodity, concluding with the dramatic legacy of myth and the modern media. The book addresses the needs of students of drama and classics, as well as anyone with an interest in the theatre's history and practice.Cambridge companions to literature.The Cambridge Companion to Greek & Roman TheatreTheaterGreeceHistoryTo 500Greek dramaHistory and criticismLatin dramaHistory and criticismTheaterRomeHistoryTo 500TheaterHistoryTo 500TheaterHistoryGreek dramaHistory and criticism.Latin dramaHistory and criticism.TheaterHistoryTheaterHistory882/.0109McDonald MarianneWalton J.
