Off-Stage Groups in Athenian Drama - Hardwick, Alexandra (Corpus Christi College and Balliol College, Oxford)

Off-Stage Groups in Athenian Drama analyses how off-stage groups in fifth- and early fourth-century tragedy and comedy influence and respond to events on stage, and how characters interact with these groups. Alexandra Hardwick argues that Athenian drama engages with early ideas of group psychology, providing ways to explore collective emotion.
