It is the first such comprehensive, mutli-authored work in English dedicated to the first surviving Greek tragedian. Jacques Bromberg synthesizes the contents of the volume in his Epilogue, whereas this Introduction is meant simply to set the scene. It examines the sources of our information about the man himself and his career in order to suggest what we can know and reasonably surmise about his life, and offer an initial assessment of his significance, above all the significance of his contributions to the history of drama. Aeschylus comes onto the scene, not at the very beginning of the Athenian tragic theater but close enough to it to be regarded as the essential founding figure. The surviving corpus of his work consists of six complete plays-less than ten percent of his production and all dating from the last two decades of his long career-and Prometheus Bound, which is likely not his. In addition, there are somewhat fewer than five-hundred fragments longer than a single word or isolated phrase. The enormous admiration and popularity which he enjoyed in his lifetime and through the fifth century BCE yielded later to the consensus that Sophocles was the more perfect artist and Euripides the more exciting and intellectually challenging playwright, but Aeschylus's role in the development of tragedy was never forgotten. Here, for example, is the image of Aeschylus brought to mind in, of all places, the Life of Apollonius of Tyana, a novelistic account of the supposed miracles and travels of a first-century CE sage written by Philostratus in the early third century"-- Provided by publisher. 410 0$aBlackwell companions to the ancient world. 606 $aGreek drama (Tragedy)$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aGreek drama (Tragedy)$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a882.01 702 $aBurian$b Peter$f1943- 702 $aBromberg$b Jacques A. 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910746980203321 996 $aA companion to Aeschylus$93374832 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03677nam 22006734a 450 001 9910820530003321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-282-42667-2 010 $a9786612426674 010 $a0-226-48117-4 024 7 $a10.7208/9780226481173 035 $a(CKB)1000000000799487 035 $a(EBL)471887 035 $a(OCoLC)489130019 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000344227 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11251012 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000344227 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10306912 035 $a(PQKB)11588105 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000123042 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC471887 035 $a(DE-B1597)524170 035 $a(OCoLC)1027497239 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780226481173 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL471887 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10343445 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL242667 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000799487 100 $a20070410d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aVictorian popularizers of science $edesigning nature for new audiences /$fBernard Lightman 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aChicago $cUniversity of Chicago Press$dc2007 215 $a1 online resource (565 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-226-48119-0 311 $a0-226-48118-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 503-533) and index. 327 $aHistorians, popularizers, and the Victorian scene -- Anglican theologies of nature in a post-Darwinian era -- Redefining the maternal tradition -- The showmen of science : wood, pepper, and visual spectacle -- The evolution of the evolutionary epic -- The science periodical : Proctor and the conduct of "knowledge" -- Practitioners enter the field : Huxley and Ball as popularizers -- Science writing on New Grub Street -- Conclusion: Remapping the terrain. 330 $aThe ideas of Charles Darwin and his fellow Victorian scientists have had an abiding effect on the modern world. But at the time The Origin of Species was published in 1859, the British public looked not to practicing scientists but to a growing group of professional writers and journalists to interpret the larger meaning of scientific theories in terms they could understand and in ways they could appreciate. Victorian Popularizers of Science focuses on this important group of men and women who wrote about science for a general audience in the second half of the nineteenth century. Bernard Lightman examines more than thirty of the most prolific, influential, and interesting popularizers of the day, investigating the dramatic lecturing techniques, vivid illustrations, and accessible literary styles they used to communicate with their audience. By focusing on a forgotten coterie of science writers, their publishers, and their public, Lightman offers new insights into the role of women in scientific inquiry, the market for scientific knowledge, tensions between religion and science, and the complexities of scientific authority in nineteenth-century Britain. 606 $aScience$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aTechnical writing$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$y19th century 615 0$aScience$xHistory 615 0$aTechnical writing$xHistory 676 $a509.41/09034 686 $aHL 1101$2rvk 700 $aLightman$b Bernard V.$f1950-$0731624 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820530003321 996 $aVictorian popularizers of science$93938088 997 $aUNINA
