商品描述

The concept, size, and potential readership of the BlackwellIntroductions to the Classical World all make it possible tocontribute a book on Aeschylus that will be distinctive from andcompetitive with the various strong general studies of Aeschylusthat have been published over the past generation (most of which, in fact, are not now available outside of libraries).

I propose to write a book on Aeschylus of c.70,000 words (c.200pages) that, in addition to necessary basic material, will focus ona series of tough and exciting interpretive problems (of varyingtypes) in the seven extant plays. The plays will be treatedindividually and chronologically (five of the plays have suredates; the date of Suppliant Women is highly probable; the date ofPrometheus Bound must remain highly speculative). I hope to attracttwo different kinds of audience, one broad and one more targeted.First, I am broadly addressing students, teachers, and generalreaders with an interest in Greek tragedy and ancient drama butwith no knowledge of the Greek language presumed. Second, I am alsoaddressing serious scholars and students of the Classics and ofGreek tragedy. Therefore, I will use a certain amount of Greekterminology and text, but always with a translation provided.


Such a book, of moderate size and large purposes, must berigorously selective in the interpretive problems it attacks. Eachchapter on a given play will raise numerous interpretive issues, but I propose to highlight for each play one particular probleminvolving broad issues of dramatic meaning(s) and one involvingmatters of staging. The considerable benefit of the latter effortwill be to emphasize that the plays should always be experienced aslive theater and that staging crucially affects interpretation. Inaddition, in a few places I propose to present textual problemsthat have a major impact on interpretation and that can bedescribed in an accessible way. As I proceed to outline below foreach play the particular issues I propose to highlight, it shouldbe kept in mind that every chapter on a play will also give anoverall interpretive reading.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《布萊克威爾古典世界導論》系列的概念、規模和潛在讀者群,使得我們有可能撰寫一本關於伊斯奇洛斯的書,這本書將與過去一代出版的多部關於伊斯奇洛斯的研究有所不同並具有競爭力(實際上,這些研究大部分現在只能在圖書館內閱讀)。

我計劃寫一本約7萬字(約200頁)的伊斯奇洛斯書籍,除了必要的基本材料外,還將聚焦於七部現存劇作中的一系列棘手且令人興奮的解釋問題(各種不同類型)。這些劇作將分別以個別和按時間順序的方式進行討論(其中五部劇作的確切日期已知;《求助的女人》的日期高度可信;《被束縛的普羅米修斯》的日期則仍然高度推測)。我希望吸引兩種不同的讀者群,一種是廣泛的學生、教師和對希臘悲劇和古代戲劇感興趣但對希臘語言沒有了解的一般讀者;另一種是嚴肅的古典學和希臘悲劇的學者和學生。因此,我將使用一定量的希臘術語和文本,但始終提供翻譯。

這樣一本規模適中且目標廣泛的書,在攻擊解釋問題時必須嚴格選擇。每個關於某個劇作的章節都會提出許多解釋問題,但我打算為每個劇作突出一個涉及戲劇意義的廣泛問題和一個涉及舞台設計的問題。後者的重要好處在於強調這些劇作應該始終被視為現場劇場體驗,並且舞台設計對解釋至關重要。此外,我打算在一些地方提出對解釋有重大影響且可以以易於理解的方式描述的文本問題。在下面為每個劇作概述特定問題的過程中,應該記住每個劇作的章節也將給出整體解釋性閱讀。
