Recenzii
In such essays the variety of epic performances outlined in Performing Epic or Telling Tales appears in a new light, with expert scrutiny by practitioners and scholars offering boundless insights into theatrical processes and intertextual inspirations, encouraging the reader to experience the wealth of epic performances in the present day.
The volume is meant to be the first systematic account of epic reception on the modern stage and with its range of topics, both historically and geographically, and contributors from various disciplines it certainly meets this expectation. Additionally, it sets a milestone for future research on the reception of antiquity on the whole. An extensive bibliography, an index and a number of black-and-white illustrations (most of them showing actual epic performances on stage) round up the impressive amount of interesting contributions.
