The City And The Stage: Performance, Genre, And Gender In Plato's Laws

What role did the performance of poetry, music, song, and dance play in the political life of the ancient city? How has philosophy positioned itself and articulated its own ambitions in relation to the poet tradition? This book poses such questions through a reading of Plato's last, longest, and unfinished work, the Laws.
