Aristophanes (Routledge Revivals): Poet and Dramatist

Aristophanes: Poet and Dramatist, first published in 1986, offers an account of the early comedies and Frogs, the most famous of his works. It avoids theorising and abstraction, keeping close to individual passages and scenes, seeking out illuminating similarities and contrasts, both within Aristophanes own corpus and between the comedian and other writers on whom he draws.
