Staging the Sacred

Performance in Late Ancient Liturgical Poetry

Beschreibung

Staging the Sacred examines Jewish, Samaritan, and Christian poetry from Late Antiquity through the lens of theater and performance. A highly interdisciplinary study that will appeal to scholars across religion, theatre, literature, and beyond, Staging the Sacred proposes a novel interpretation of Late Antique hymnody and poetry as a performative genre, akin to oratory, theatre, and other modes of public performance, placing these works in their wider societal context.
