Abstract:
The volume contains 77 original papers on classical philology, Greek and Latin literature, papyrology, written especially – upon invitation – by authoritative scholars from Italian and foreign universities. The topics range from Homer to the Late Antique period and include epic literature, epigrams, philosophy, historiography, theatre and critical-textual theory. As well as a homage to the Florence Greekist Angelo Casanova on occasion of his adieu to university teaching, the work is also – both owing to the prestige of the authors and the variety of the topics dealt with – an extremely loyal picture of the 'state of the art' of current antiquities studies.

Full text
Abstract:
Performing Epic or Telling Tales takes the new millennium as a starting point for an exploration of the turn to narrative in twenty-first-century theatre, which is often also a turn to Graeco-Roman epic. However, the dominant focus of Performing Epic is less on ‘what’ the recent epic turn in the theatre consists of than ‘why’ it seems to be so prevalent. The authors explain this turn with reference not only to the translation and scholarly histories of the epics but also to earlier performance traditions and, notably, to recent theoretical debates relating to text-based ‘drama’ and performance based ‘theatre’. What is perhaps most remarkable about this epic turn is not simply the sheer number of outstanding performances that it has produced; it is also that recent practice appears to have outstripped much theoretical discussion about theatre. In chapters ranging from spoken word performances to ballet, from the use of machines and technology, to performances that make space for voices occluded by the ancient epics, Performing Epic seeks to contextualize and explain the ‘narrative’/storytelling (re-)turn in recent live performances—a turn that regularly entails engagement with ancient Graeco-Roman epics, which provide poets, playwrights, artists, and theatre makers with a storehouse of rich, often perceived as ‘raw’, material. Refigured and refracted for the modern era, the epics of ancient Greece and Rome are found to be particularly revealing, and particularly ‘telling’ of the contemporary wider cultural sphere.

Full text
Abstract:
The recent performance history of Macbeth illustrates two tendencies discernible in contemporary Shakespeare performance more widely: the strong, empathic engagement characteristic of theatrical intimacy in the Aristotelian vein and the vast, distancing sweep of epic as theorized by Bertolt Brecht and, later, Walter Benjamin. By considering productions by Punchdrunk, Rift, John Tiffany and Andrew Goldberg, Kenneth Branagh and Rob Ashford, and Grzegorz Jarzyna, this chapter argues that epic theatre as proposed by Brecht and Benjamin is a marked feature of immersive productions, which combine the impression of intimacy with the distancing effect of the epic. Using Elinor Fuchs’s notion of landscape theatre, it concludes that in contemporary apolitical epic theatre, intimacy can be achieved outside Aristotelian catharsis or character and even beyond the notion of humanity.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter examines the impact on modern drama of the establishment of the Soviet Union, through in-depth investigation of a special case: Bertolt Brecht’s transformation of J. M. Synge’s 1904 Riders to the Sea into a 1937 Spanish Civil War play called Señora Carrar’s Rifles. Synge and Ireland were not, for their own sakes, important to Brecht; he was drawn to Riders as a model which might help him solve the problem of how to radicalise the working-class mother. After the disastrous 1935 production of Brecht’s The Mother by the New York City-based Theatre Union, Brecht concluded that the technical demands of epic theater were beyond the capacity of these amateur ensembles. Synge’s unusual treatment of maternal grief in Riders helped Brecht envision a means of producing the effects of epic theater while using the techniques of realism. Helene Weigel’s performance as Teresa Carrar was crucial to his later thinking about acting and spectator emotion. Re-presenting Maurya’s refusal to grieve for Bartley in both Senora Carrar’s Rifles and Mother Courage helped Brecht refine his understanding of alienation in ways which made epic theater more pleasurable for spectators without requiring Brecht to acknowledge that pleasure as a desired effect.

Full text
Abstract:
One of Latouche’s masterpieces, the opera The Golden Apple, with composer Jerome Moross, reimagines the Judgment of Paris story and the Homeric epics through the prism of early-twentieth-century America. Hanya Holm directed, and William and Jean Eckart did the memorable designs. First premiering at the Phoenix Theatre off-Broadway, it moved to Broadway for a short run there. Although more a critical than a popular sucess—it won the Donaldson Award, the Page One Award, and the New York Critics’ Circle Award for the season’s best musical—it remains a favorite among connoisseurs of American musical theater.

Brook, Peter. The Shifting Point. Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781350069459.

Full text
Abstract:
Hailed as 'the theatrical event of this century' (Sunday Times), Peter Brook's unique dramatization of India's great epic poem, The Mahabharata played to ecstatic audiences worldwide. In The Shifting Point, one of theatre's great visionaries assesses the lessons of his pioneering work from his brilliant debut at Stratford and the West End in the 1960s to the triumphant success of The Mahabharata. With the bravura and insight of a great practitioner and explorer he reveals some of the inspiration behind his extraordinary career. Published in Bloomsbury's Revelations series, Brook's account covers many of the groundbreaking productions that cemented his reputation as 'one of the artistic geniuses of our time' (San Franciso Herald): his controversial productions of King Lear and Romeo and Juliet; the three-month period in Africa which culminated in The Conference of the Birds; Marat/Sade; filming King Lear and Lord of the Flies, and the epic The Mahabharata. With Brooks's reflections on the problems of Shakespeare and opera, and on a range of modern theatre artists including Grotowski, Gordon Craig and Samuel Beckett, The Shifting Point provides a uniquely revealing account of 4 decades of artistic exploration. 'The great thing about Brook is that, in a medium where others provide answers, he keeps asking questions. This sage and stimulating book shows that, inside a sophisticated adult mind, lurks the intemperate curiosity of a child; which is the mark of genius.'(Michael Billington, Listener)

Holberton, Edward. Empire and Natural Law in Dryden’s Heroic Drama. Edited by Lorna Hutson. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199660889.013.43.

Full text
Abstract:
Dryden’s early heroic plays find dramatic potential in early modern natural law debates about sovereignty, and explore the language of contract central to these debates. The Indian Emperour interrogates the context of Spain’s claims to empire in the new world, reflecting the historical moment of England’s growing colonial ambitions. The Conquest of Granada shows how natural law’s metaphors of contract can destabilize an empire from within, as Dryden’s hero Almanzor employs them to contest and divide. Almanzor’s claims connect to an earlier critical exchange between Davenant and Hobbes on the cultural influence of epic romance and theatre in relation to political instability. Dryden’s play, however, works to redeem romance from its association with the misinterpretation of passion and interest in Hobbes’s writing. In The Conquest of Granada, romance and theatre become part of the process of refined law-making, providing a culture of propriety and discrimination which supports the artifice of empire.

Abstract:
Voltaire arrived in London in May 1726, primarily to publish a definitive edition of his epic La Henriade as censorship made this impossible in France. ‘The Englishman’ describes how Voltaire immersed himself in English culture, frequently going to the theatre and making the acquaintance of the leading writers and poets of the day. Voltaire began writing his Letters on the English in England in 1727. The work comprises twenty-odd short essays dealing with religion, politics, science, and literature. Together they constitute the portrait of a culture and a manifesto of Enlightenment values. Letters on the English mark a highly significant moment in Voltaire’s career: his emergence as a great prose-writer.
