Sensing Greek Drama explores ancient Greek tragedy and comedy through the lens of the senses. It works within and beyond a number of recent developments in the scholarship of Classics and related fields. The individual chapters engage with the senses in drama in manifold ways: through various theoretical frameworks borrowed from kindred fields in the humanities and sciences – postmodernism, humanism, feminism, phenomenology, cognitive theory and neuroscience, to name a few – as well as through the more traditional approaches within Classics, including philology, historicism, performance studies and reception. Above all, Sensing Greek Drama serves as a call to “to recover our senses”, as Susan Sontag wrote in her famous essay “Against Interpretation”, in a modern age characterized by sensory overload and deprivation.
