Performance Culture and Athenian Democracy
Simon Goldhill
The specially-commissioned essays from leading scholars in this 1999 book discuss the ways in which performance is central to the practice and ideology of democracy in classical Athens. Drama, rhetoric, philosophy, literature and art are all discussed in an interdisciplinary frame to explore how the culture of democracy depends on performance.
