According to Aristotle the main purpose of tragedy is the manipulation of emotions, and yet there are relatively few accessible studies of the precise dynamics of emotion in the Athenian theatre. In Greek Tragedy and the Emotions, first published in 1993, W.B. Stanford reviews the evidence for âemotionalismâ â as the great Attic playwrights presented it, as the actors and choruses expressed it, and as their audiences reacted to it. Sociological aspects of the issue are considered, and the whole range of emotions, not just âpity and fearâ, is discussed. The aural, visual and stylistic methods of inciting emotion are analysed, and Aeschylusâ Oresteia is examined exclusively in terms of the emotions that it exploits. Finally, Stanfordâs conclusions are contrasted with the accepted theories of tragic âcatharsisâ. Greek terms are transliterated and all quotations are in translation, so Greek Tragedy and the Emotions will appeal particularly to those unfamiliar with Classical Greek.
