Accounting for the Ancient Theatre: a new social and economic history of Classical Greek drama

这个项目将极大地促进我们对古典剧院的了解，古典剧院是欧洲传统的源头，继续构成澳大利亚文化和历史遗产的主要元素。在澳大利亚领土上开展这一领域如此雄心勃勃的项目将极大地提高澳大利亚人文研究的国际形象，并为在澳大利亚接受培训的学者在国外进行此类研究的令人遗憾的趋势提供自豪的制衡。它将在澳大利亚著名的意大利和希腊社区探索其文化遗产的一个关键要素方面产生特别的共鸣，这一要素现在也已成为一个真正的全球现象。

This project will significantly advance our understanding of the Classical theatre, an institution at the fountainhead of the European tradition that continues to form a major element in Australia's cultural and historical heritage. The undertaking of such an ambitious project in this field on Australian soil will greatly enhance the international profile of Australian humanities research, and serve as a proud counterweight to the regrettable tendency that sees Australian-trained scholars conduct such research outside the country. It will have particular resonance for the prominent Italian and Greek communities in Australia in its exploration of a key element of their cultural heritage which has now also become a truly global phenomenon.
