As the National Pol- icy had intended, a growing agricultural population in the West increased the demand lor eastern manufactured goods, thereby giving rise to agricultural implements worM , iron and steelloundries , machine shops , railway yards, tex- tile mills, boot and shoe factOries, and numerous smaller manufacturing ef1te r- prises that suppli ed consumer goods. ~ ~ ~ " - ;:'':':1.

Much 01 the over $600 million of American capital that flowed into Canada from 19CN) to 1913 was earmamKI for mining and the pulp and paper industry, while British investors conlributed near $1.8 billion, mostly in railway building, business development, and the construction 01 ulban infrastructure.

DOrpfeld did not begin the first extenSive study of the Theatre of Oionysus until 1886 .1!l Since that time, more than 167 other Greek theatres have been identified and many 01 them have been excavated. ICl Nevertheless, they still do not permit us 10 describe bas tlet mat na READING SECTION 151 ",pe'~"" of the skene (i llustrations printed in books are conjec- reconstructions), since many pieces are irrevocably lost because the buildings in later periods became sources 01 stone lor other projects and what remains is usually broken and scattered. [DJ That most 01 the buildings were remodeled many limes has created great problemS lor those seeking to date both the paris and the sll"X'm'sive versions. Despite these drawbacks, archeol- ogy provides the most concrete evidence we !\ave about the theatre structures 01 ancient Greece. But. if they heve told us much , archeologists !\ave not com- pleted their worX, and many sites !\ave scarcely been touched. -+ Perhaps the use 01 archeological evidence in theatre history is vase paintings, thousands 01 wh ich have survived from ancient Greeoe. (Most 0I1hose used by theatre scholars are repmduced in Margarete Bieber's The Histoty of ItJe Greek and Roman Theatre .) Depicting scenes Irom mythology and daily life, the vases are the most graphic pictorial evidence we have. But they are also easy to misinterpret. Some scholars have considered any vase that depicts a subject treated In a surviving drama or any scene show- ing masks , flute players, or ceremonials to be valid evidence 01 theatrical prac- tice. This Is a highly questionable assumption, since the Greeks made widespread use 01 masks, dances, and music outside the theatre and since the myths on wh ich dramatists drew were known to everyone, including vase pairlters, who might well depict the same subjects as dramatists without being indebted to them . Those vases showing scenes unquestionably theatrical are lew in number. -+ Written eviclenoe about ancient Greek theatre is often treated as less reli- able than archeological evidence because most written accounts are separated so lar in lime from the events they describe and because they provide no irllor- mation about their own sources. Of the written evidellCe, the surviving plays are usually treated as the most reliable. But the oldest surviving manuscripts of Greek plays date from around the tenth century, C.E., some 1500 years after they were lirst perlormed. Since printing did not exist during this lime span, copies 01 plays had to be made by hand , and therefore the possibility 01 textual errors aeeping in was magnified. Nevertheless, the scripts offer us our readiest access to the cultural and theatrical conditions out 01 which they came . But these scripts, like other kinds 01 evidence, are subject to varying Interpretations. Certainly perlormances embodied a male perspective, lor example, since the plays were written, selected, staged, and acted by men. yet the exiSting plays leature numerous choruses 01 women and many leature strong lemale charac- ters. Because these characters often seem victims 01 their own powerlessness and appear to be governed, especially in the comedies, by se:cuat desire, some critics have seen these plays as ralionalizatiorls by the maIe-Oominated culture lor keeping women segregated and cloistered. Other critics, howeV9f, have seen in these same plays an attempt by male authors to lorce their male audi- ences to e:cam i ne and call into question this segregation and cloistering 01 Athenian women . 160 MODEL TEST 2: PA OO AESS TEST ~ By far Ihe majOrity of written ref&rences 10 Greek theatre date from several hundred years after the events they report. The writers seldom mention their sources of evidence, and thus we do no t know what credence to give MW. In the absence of material nearer in time 10 the events, however, historians have used the accounts and have been grateful to have them. Overall, historical treatment of the Greek theatre Is something like assembling a Jigsaw puzzle from which many pieces are missing: historians arrange what they have and imagine (with the aid of the remaining evidence and logic) what has been Iosl. As a result, though the broad oullines of Greek theatra history are reasooably clear, many of the details remain open 10 doubt.
