Actors and Audience. A Study of Asides and Related Conventions in Greek Drama. - BAIN, D.,

a study of asides and related conventions in Greek drama

KORTE INHOUD

'This excellent book investigates the aside as a dramatic convention which demands that the audience accept a certain lack of realism, and some other conventions connected with the dramatic illusion. (?) B.?s main achievement is to have clarified certain conventions of New Comedy and to have shown the different ways in which Menander and Roman comedy used these conventions, but he also offers acute and judicious comment on scores of passages (indexed), including many which he excludes from his definition of asides.' (J.C.B. LOWE in The Classical Review (New Series), 1981, p.8-9).
