Open Access Books Network on Humanities Commons 4 years agoHi Emma,

– Provide back and forward links between…[Read more] -

Elodie Paillard deposited Theatre and Metatheatre: Definitions, Problems, Limits in the group
Ancient Greece & Rome on Humanities Commons 4 years, 2 months agoThe aim of this book is to explore the definition(s) of ‘theatre’ and ‘metatheatre’ that scholars use when studying the ancient Greek world. Although in modern languages their meaning is mostly straightforward, both concepts become problematical when applied to ancient reality. In fact, ‘theatre’ as well as ‘metatheatre’ are used in many differe…[Read more]
