Costume in Greek Tragedy by Rosie Wyles

The first extended study of its kind in half a century, Rosie Wyles' Costume in Greek Tragedy synthesizes and in many areas advances scholarly discussion of fifth-century Greek tragic costume. With attention to detail, Wyles mines deeply the well-worked visual and verbal evidence, offering interpretations which take both theatrical semiotics and reception theory into account ... Costume in Greek Tragedy gives a crucial and complex component of Attic drama the modern, book-length study it deserves. -- Al Duncan, University of Utah * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
