A propos de cet article

pp. 93-120. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author to W. Haase. - Author's name handwritten on cover, cover very lightly rubbed, otherwise a good, clean copy. - From the text: I AM GRATEFUL to this communal celebration of the memory of Freddy Bateson for prompting me to review the kind of work I did on Greek tragedy in the 1970s in the light of more recent disparagements and developments, and to make comparisons with Shakespearean studies which reveal instructive similarities and differences. I shall ask whether we are stuck on a hermeneutic underground train on the Circle Line between theatricality and textuality, and how far ignorance, or a lack of certainty, invalidates performance criticism, before going on to practise some methodologically more self-aware performance criticism on the handing over of babies in Oedipus the King and The Winter s Tale, and ending with some ideas about audiences. I am spurred on by Bateson s call for a strong sense of fact , and by his expectation of social relevance , challengingly glossed in the Editorial Note to the first issue of Essays in Criticism in these words: as far as possible the literary problem must not be divorced from the problems of group-living, in the widest sense, that lie behind it . - Wikipedia: Oliver Taplin, FBA (born 2 August 1943) is a retired British academic and classicist. He was a fellow of Magdalen College and Professor of Classical Languages and Literature at the University of Oxford. He holds a DPhil from Oxford University.
