But a successful play, and certainly the whole of Greek tragedy, transcends these particular moments and transforms them. In ENACTMENT Albert Cook deals with the discrete Greek particulars of time and place which affected these plays, making use of a rich classical scholarship in discussing details of Greek language, politics, and culture. Such historical materials provide a setting for Professor Cooks treatment of the transformations of these plays into self-sustaining, moving events that engage us even at our distance from their special, classical moments. The first section of this book is theoretical, developing a general theory of myth and ritual and involving an examination of the dynamic relationships of theatre itself. The second section is devoted to formal analysis of the plays themselves. In both sections Professor Cook applies a broad range of contemporary thought to his subject, using linguistic insight, anthropological theory, and psychological methods to discuss the structures and energies of the plays. The result is not antiquarian in any sense. The ambition here is to broach literatures concern about life, to meet these tragedies both as they pertained to the Greeks and as they pertain to us.
