That extensively illustrated and very heavy book is a worthy memorial. This is adifferent book: it draws on some additional research, while the opportunity to rewrite the study, and bring it up to date has proved welcome.

Acting Greek Tragedy explores the dynamics of physical interaction and the dramaturgical construction of scenes in ancient Greek tragedy. Ley argues that spatial distinctions between ancient and modern theatres are not significant, as core dramatic energy can be placed successfully in either context.Guiding commentary on selected passages from Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides illuminates the problems involved with performing monologue, dialogue, scenes requiring three actors, and scenes with properties. A companion website - actinggreektragedy.com - offers recorded illustrations of scenes from the Workshops.What the book offers is a practical approach to the preparation of Greek scripts for performance. The translations used have all been tested in workshops, with those of Euripides newly composed for this book.The companion website can be found here: www.actinggreektragedy.com

This edition of Antonio Machado's work offers a complete revision of the interpretations advanced by critics on the first version of Soledades (1903). Based on Machado's original edition it will be the only reliable text on the market of this work, the very embodiment of Spanish modernism. It will offer, as well as the text, a substantial analysis of the changes made for the second edition of 1907 that reveal the progressive influence of Modernismo on Machado's conceptionsUsing new theoretical models, the editor has been able to tell us more about Machado's poetic practice, his evolution as a poet and, consequently, more about the development of Symbolism in Spain than has previously been possible.The text will be useful to specialists of Machado and the period (18901910) and to postgraduates and final-year students working on the period.

Gregoire Le Roy was at school in Ghent with Maeterlinck and Van Leberghe, and grew up in the same atmosphere of intellectual ferment. His first collection of published verse just pre-dates Maeterlinck's Serres chaudes. His fin-de-siecle poetry was highly considered at the time of its first appearance, and was widely published in reviews. He treats all the major themes of the period, with special emphasis on a melancholy tone, half-tint landscapes, overt musicality, and (almost obsessively) the destructive nature of time.This is the first edition since their original publication in 1889 and 1907 of the three collections of poems by a significant member of the Belgian Symbolist school.Republishing Le Roy's early work is an important step in recreating an accurate intellectual portrait of an important and influential movement.
