London: Duckworth, 2004. Softcover. Very Good Condition. An excellent copy in great condition. Only light wear to cover. All pages clean, crisp and fresh. Publisher's note: "Surviving Greek Tragedy tells the tale of the physical survival of the thirty-two extant tragedies of the playwrights Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. Beginning with the first revival of the plays in the fourth century BC, Robert Garland charts the course of their transmission down the centuries as they passed through the hands of readers, scholars, schoolteachers, monks, publishers, translators, actors and theatre directors. Over the course of this millennia the plays have been at various times performed, copied, quoted, emended, excerpted, analysed, taught, translated, censored, adapted, or merely left to moulder in a library, as each successive culture charged with their safe-keeping saw fit." "Accessibly written and generously illustrated, the text is supported by ample notes and detailed Appendices listing manuscripts, translations and productions of the plays from antiquity to the present. Surviving Greek Tragedy will appeal to all with an interest in classical literature, the history of theatre, and the intriguing story of the hazardous transmission of texts from the ancient world to the present day."--Jacket xvii, 286 pp. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
