In 'Ancient Art and Ritual', Jane Ellen Harrison explores the intimate connection between ancient art and ritual. Harrison delves into the history of Greek drama, which arose from primitive and almost worldwide rituals, and illustrates how these ancient rituals evolved into art forms such as choral readings, dance forms, and drama itself. She argues that art is borne out of emotion and is the artist's duty to transfer those feelings into some medium, whether it be writing, painting, or drama. With high emotional energy as a common thread behind all art forms, Harrison shows how ancient rituals gave rise to the development of Greek sculpture as a demure way to give homage to the gods.

It may be well at the outset to say clearly what is the aim of the present volume. The title is Ancient Art and Ritual, but the reader will find in it no general summary or even outline of the facts of either ancient art or ancient ritual. These facts are easily accessible in handbooks. The point of my title and the real gist of my argument lie perhaps in the word "and"-that is, in the intimate connection which I have tried to show exists between ritual and art. This connection has, I believe, an important bearing on questions vital to-day, as, for example, the question of the place of art in our modern civilization, its relation to and its difference from religion and morality; in a word, on the whole enquiry as to what the nature of art is and how it can help or hinder spiritual life. I have taken Greek drama as a typical instance, because in it we have the clear historical case of a great art, which arose out of a very primitive and almost world-wide ritual. The rise of the Indian drama, or the mediæval and from it the modern stage, would have told us the same tale and served the like purpose. But Greece is nearer to us to-day than either India or the Middle Ages. Greece and the Greek drama remind me that I should like to offer my thanks to Professor Gilbert Murray, for help and criticism which has far outrun the limits of editorial duty. J. E. H.

THE title of this book may strike the reader as strange and even dissonant. What haveart and ritual to do together? The ritualist is, to the modern mind, a man concernedperhaps unduly with fixed forms and ceremonies, with carrying out the rigidly prescribedordinances of a church or sect. The artist, on the other hand, we think of as free inthought and untrammelled by convention in practice; his tendency is towards licence.Art and ritual, it is quite true, have diverged to-day; but the title of this book is chosenadvisedly. Its object is to show that these two divergent developments have a commonroot, and that neither can be understood without the other. It is at the outset one and thesame impulse that sends a man to church and to the theatre.Such a statement may sound to-day paradoxical, even irreverent. But to the Greek ofthe sixth, fifth, and even fourth century B.C., it would have been a simple truism. Weshall see this best by following an Athenian to his theatre, on the day of the great SpringFestival of Dionysos.
