The Gentle, Jealous God
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-06685-4 (ISBN)
Simon Perris presents a fascinating cultural history of one of world theatre’s landmark classics. He explores the reception of Dionysus, Bacchae, and the classical ideal in a violent and turmoil-ridden era. And he demonstrates by example that translation matters, or should matter, to readers, writers, actors, directors, students, and scholars of ancient drama.
Simon Perris is Senior Lecturer in Classics at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. He has published numerous articles on Greek tragedy and classical reception.
