Mask and Performance in Greek Tragedy: From Ancient Festival to Modern Experimentation
ISBN: 9781107404793 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Why did Greek actors in the age of Sophocles always wear masks? In this book, first published in 2007, David Wiles provided the first book-length study of this question. He surveys the evidence of vases and other monuments, arguing that they portray masks as part of a process of transformation, and that masks were never seen in the fifth century as autonomous objects. Wiles goes on to examine experiments with the mask in twentieth-century theatre, tracing a tension between the use of masks for possession and for alienation, and he identifies a preference among modern classical scholars for...

David Wiles explores the performance of tragedy as a spatial practice specific to Athenian culture, at once religious and political.

ISBN: 9781107428065 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Citizenship is a contested term which today inspires both policy-makers and radical activists. David Wiles traces this ideal to its classical roots, examining both theatre and citizenship as performative practices. Wiles examines how people function collectively rather than as individuals, for example through choruses or crowd behaviour in the auditorium. He explores historic tensions between the passivity of the spectator and the active engagement of a citizen, paying special attention to dramatists like Aristophanes, Machiavelli and Rousseau who have translated political theory into a...

In this book, David Wiles introduces ancient Greek theater to students and enthusiasts interested in knowing how the plays were performed. Theater was a ceremony bound up with fundamental activities in ancient Athenian life and Wiles explores those elements that created the theater of the time.

Shakespeare's Clown: Actor and Text in the Elizabethan Playhouse
ISBN: 9780521673341 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book argues that a professional Elizabethan theatre company always contained one actor known as ???the clown???.

He discerns a perpetual and productive tension between the ambitions of a progressive writer and the...

The Early Plays of Robin Hood
ISBN: 9780859910828 / Angielski / Twarda / 1970 / 103 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Robin Hood was the subject of many fifteenth and sixteenth century folk-plays, of which only traces remain. As a result, the ballads, many of which have survived, have usually been regarded as the main-spring of traditions about the famous outlaw. David Wiles however, argues that the dramatic tradition was equally, if not more, important. He sees the plays, associated with Whitsun revels, died out much earlier, and so must be reconstructed from fragmentary scripts and the tantalising glimpses afforded by sources such as churchwardens' accounts. Robin Hood emerges as an emblem both of the...
