This anthology should be a must' for all serious students of
Aristophanes. It brings together for the first tinme in one volume
all the most important contributions to the study of Aristophanes
published over the last several decades - providing an ideal
resource for anyone studying the plays. Aristophanes is the only
surviving author of Greek Attic comedy who has left us more than
fragments, and his eleven surviving plays reflect the spirit of
Athens in the golden age - and its unique freedom of speech. The
book deals not only with the better known comedies like Clouds and
Birds , but also the later, more unusual works like The
Assembywomen and Wealth , which represent important stages towards
the evolution of modern comedy. Subjects range from the classic
question of Aristophanes' relationship to contemporary politics to
more modern issues such as feminism, gender, performance context,
and the interaction between fifth century comedy and tragedy. Many
of the contributions are not otherwise readily available to
students and teachers, coming from foreign journals and books,
difficult to obtain. This book is intended for students of
classical literature, especially Greek comedy.
