    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    “Chronology and History of the Attic Theatre” presents the results of research carried out by a wide range of scholars specialised in various fields of ancient theatre studies, brought together in dialogue on a common focus: the history of the Attic theatre, from its origins to the fifth century BCE. Each chapter of the book proceeds from a case study, but aims to draw general conclusions in relation to the main theme. Many types of evidence have been collected and analysed: archaeological evidence, especially from the sixth and fifth centuries BCE; epigraphic evidence, from the sixth century BCE to the Hellenistic period; literary evidence from the tragedies, satyr plays and comedies, but also classical and post-classical texts relating to pre-theatrical performances and the first dramatic contests.
    These sources have been used to analyse the different theatrical phenomena from a historical-chronological perspective, looking also at the links between them (or with other artistic expressions) and at the phases of reception and theorisation of classical theatre.
    The book thus offers a wealth of information, updated, rethought and linked in original ways, that can contribute to a better vision of the history of ancient Greek theatre.
