Performing Epic or Telling Tales
Macintosh, Fiona M. (Professor of Classical Reception, Director of the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama (APGRD), and Fellow of St Hilda's College, Professor of Classical Reception, Director of the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman

This volume examines the 'why' of this epic turn, exploring not only the translation and scholarly histories of the epics, but also earlier performance traditions and recent theoretical debates.
