Rehearsals of Manhood

Athenian Drama as Social Practice

Winkler, John J.
Ormand, Kirk (ed.)

When John Winkler died in 1990, he left an unpublished manuscript containing a highly original interpretation of the development and meaning of ancient Greek drama. This book makes this groundbreaking work available for the first time, presenting an entirely novel picture of Greek tragedy and a vivid portrait of the cultural poetics of Athenian manhood.
