This book brings together fourteen studies by Alan Sommerstein on
Aristophanes and his fellow comic dramatists, some of which have
not previously appeared in print. The studies cover almost all the
major topics of Sommerstein's work - the nature and functions of
comedy in Aristophanes' time, its connections with the society and
politics of its day, the question of Aristophanes' own political
stances, the light comedy can throw on classical Athenians'
perception of basic social divisions (age, gender, citizen/alien,
free/slave), comedy's exploitation of the expressive resources of
the Greek language, the composition and production history of
individual plays, and the history of the genre as a whole.
