Performance, Reception, Iconography assembles twenty-three papers from an international group of scholars who engage with, and develop, the seminal work of Oliver Taplin. Oliver Taplin has for over three decades been at the forefront of innovation in the study of Greek literature, and of the Greek theatre, tragic and comic, in particular. The studies in this volume centre on three key areas - the performance of Greek literature, the interactions between literature and the visual realm of iconography, and the reception and appropriation of Greek literature, and of Greek culture more widely, in subsequent historical periods.
This volume investigates the multifaceted influence of Oliver Taplin’s scholarship on the study of Greek literature, theatre, and visual culture. The editors, Martin Revermann and Peter W. F. Wilson, have curated twenty-three contributions from an international cohort of scholars to examine how Taplin’s methodologies have shaped contemporary understanding of performance, iconography, and the reception of classical antiquity. The collection serves as both a tribute to Taplin’s career and a rigorous academic exploration of the intersection between textual analysis and material culture.
