| Abstract | "Ghosts haunt the stages of world drama, appearing in classical Greek drama through to the plays of 21st-century dramatists. Tracing the phenomenon across time and in different cultures, the essays collected here examine their representation, dramatic function and what they may tell us about the belief systems of their original audiences and the conditions of theatrical production. As illusions of illusions, they foreground many dramatic themes common to a wide variety of periods and cultures. Contributors consider their appearance in works by Aeschylus, early modern dramatists, in traditional Japanese theatre, through to the work of 21st-century dramatists"-- Provided by publisher. |
