BLUME, H.-D., Einführung in das antike Theaterwesen. Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, Darmstadt, 1978. X,139,XIVp. Photographs. Sewn. Front cover partly a bit yellowed. 'This book contains a compact survey of the Roman theatre, but is naturally mainly devoted to the Greek theatre, on which there is a brief but useful section on dramatic, archaeological, and literary sources and a very extensive one discussing dramatic festivals at Athens, production, theatre buildings, and actors in all their important aspects. Blume's treatment throughout is always succinct and to the point, and is as a rule well documented. (...) He gives the essential facts (...) and is judicious both in drawing conclusions (...) and in abjuring them. (...) This short book can be recommended as a reliable, as well as comprehensive, treatment of its far from easy subject.' (E.W. WHITTLE in The Classical Review (New Series), 1980, p. 145). € 18.50 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9783534042449
