"The study discusses all the key ancient sources for pantomime, and includes an appendix of selected source texts with translations keyed to the essays. It also prints a newly updated English translation of Jacob of Sarugh's Homilies on the Spectacles of the Theatre, one of the most important, though neglected, pieces of evidence for pantomime."--BOOK JACKET.
