Aristophanes. An Author for the Stage. Translated by K. Wren. - RUSSO, C.F.,
KORTE INHOUD
Original title: Aristofane autore di teatro. Translation based on the revised Italian editions of 1984 and 1992. Carlo Ferdinando Russo's acclaimed work on Aristophanes examines his comedies as plays intended for the stage - not the page. The author considers the invention of printing as a cause of root changes in the nature of drama: The modern reader is inclined to see Aristophanes as an author of texts for reading, rather than of fluid libretti for performance. In Aristophanes, an Author for the Stage , Russo's in-depth philological analysis of the plays is founded on an ever present perception of the realities of Greek theatre. Essential reading for any student of Greek comedy. From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover.
