In recent decades literary approaches to drama have multiplied: new
historical, intertextual, political, performative and
metatheatrical, socio-linguistic, gender-driven, transgenre-driven.
New information has been amassed, sometimes by re-examination of
extant literary texts and material artifacts, at other times from
new discoveries from the fields of archaeology, epigraphy, art
history, and literary studies. The Oxford Handbook of Greek and
Roman Comedy marks the first comprehensive introduction to and
reference work for the unified study of ancient comedy. From the
birth of comedy in Greece to its end in Rome, from the Hellenistic
diffusion of performances after the death of Menander to its
artistic, scholarly, and literary receptions in the later Roman
Empire, no topic is neglected. 41 essays spread across Greek
Comedy, Roman Comedy, and the transmission and reception of Ancient
comedy by an international team of experts offer cutting-edge
guides through the immense terrain of the field, while an expert
introduction surveys the major trends and shifts in scholarly study
of comedy from the 1960s to today. The Handbook includes two
detailed appendices that provide invaluable research tools for both
scholars and students. The result offers Hellenists an excellent
overview of the earliest reception and creative reuse of Greek New
Comedy, Latinists a broad perspective of the evolution of Roman
Comedy, and scholars and students of classics an excellent resource
and tipping point for future interdisciplinary research.
