CFP: Special Issue of Comparative Drama

[Hallie Rebecca Marshall]

Translation, Performance, and Reception of Greek Drama, 1900–1950: 
International Dialogues
A Special Issue of Comparative Drama
 
Proposals are invited for essays on the translation, performance, and 
reception of ancient Greek drama in the period between and around the 
two world wars—so, very broadly speaking, 1900 to 1950. Essays that 
have an international focus or dimension are particularly encouraged: 
for example, discussions of translations and adaptations which engage 
with international politics; considerations of intercontinental trends 
in Greek play performance; or essays on the various receptions of 
internationally touring productions (such as Max Reinhardt’s Oedipus, 
1910–12, Harley Granville-Barker and Lillah McCarthy’s American tour 
of Trojan Women and Iphigenia in Tauris, 1915). This special issue, 
which will be published in late 2010, seeks to encourage and promote 
research into engagements with Greek drama after the Victorian era and 
before the 1960s, a significant and interesting period which—though 
often overlooked—repays close study.
 
Abstracts of up to 300 words should be sent by 30 April 2009 to Amanda 
Wrigley, Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama, University 
of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3LU, UK or to amanda.wrigley at classics.ox.ac.uk.
