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...

ISBN: 9780521666152 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. David Wiles explores the performance of tragedy as a spatial practice specific to Athenian culture, at once religious and political. After reviewing controversies and archaeological data regarding the fifth-century performance space, Wiles turns to the chorus and shows how dance mapped out the space for the purposes of any given play.

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...

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...

Theories abound, myths proliferate, but reliable information has been in short supply--until now, when Baseball before We Knew It brings fresh new evidence of baseball's origins into play. David Block looks into the early history of the game and of the 150-year-old debate about its beginnings.
