'In the Preface the author poses 4 questions: is it feasible to look for any serious message underlying comic drama; if so, is the standpoint anti-democratic or just sceptical towards authority; does the Artistophanic hero represent the ordinary Athenian of about 400 B.C.; does Aristophanic fantasy necessarily carry any practical implications? In answering these questions the author endeavours to provide enough material on Athenian society to make the plays' contexts intelligible. (...) The author does provide interesting solutions to the problems poses and offers some stimulating interpretations of the plays.' (CHARLES MACLACHLAN in The Classical Review (New Series), 1991, pp.468-69). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott.

Bump to top corner with faint crease through pages and wraps. ; Aristophanes, the Athenian comic dramatist, remains popular despite historical changes in attitude and belief. Placing the plays in their total civic, religious and dramatic context, this account explores their significance for contemporary audiences, and their continuing appeal. Separate chapters address aspects of his work and world, and attempt to outline the playwright's own opinions at a time of intense political debate. With original texts quoted in translation, this comprehensive and lively study provides students with an invaluable insight into the plays and their place in classical Athens. ; Classical World Series; 112 pages; Signed by Author .
