Methuen, London, 1970. XIV,223p. Cloth. This book is primarily concerned to relate the history of dance, an aspect of the chorus which has so far been inadequately presented. The author describes the visual appearance of the chorus on Greek vases and reliefs form the eight to the fourth century B.C. He then discusses the choral performances themselves, with reference to the literary sources, and emphasis is given here to the development of the metre, which was fundamental in providing the rhythm for words, music and dance. The interplay of the traditional and the original is of great importance to the development of the Greek chorus. Professor Webster explains how far the Greek chorus was based on tradition, when and where innovations were made, and to what extent different types of chorus influenced each other.
