520 |a "The Hidden Chorus is the first detailed study of the interaction between tragic and lyric choral song. L. A. Swift argues that tragedy alludes to lyric genres in order to evoke the cultural and normative assumptions involved in them and that the tragedians use this technique to enchance themes, motifs, and imagery of their work." "Swift's study will enrich our understanding of the socio-cultural position of both tragedy and lyric poetry, as it explores the roles that these types of song played within the ritual life of the community. Thus through the connections between tragic and non-tragic lyric, we not only gain insights into individual plays but also develop a broader understanding of the musical culture of the Greek polis." --Book Jacket.
