Responsioni libere nei canti di Aristofane. - ROMANO, Cecilia,

KORTE INHOUD

'Metre has long occupied an important and honourable position within Italian scholarship, and Romano continues the tradition of her one-time mentors Bruno Gentili and Franca Persuino with a useful volume on free responsion in the lyrics of Aristophanes. (...) R.'s aim is to investigate the responsion between strophe and antistrophe, which ancient writers on metre postulate should be exact. The reality of Aristophanes' plays on the other hand shows numerous instances of what is at times a radical departure from this theoretical norm, and R. Questions whether such breaches should be interpreted as the result of the playwright's deliberate intention, or whether they stem simply from corruption in the manuscript tradition, as suggested by Paul Maas. (...) What R. does achieve is to go beyond recognition to an analysis of actual function.' (S. IRELAND in The Classical Review (New Series), 1993, p.420). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover.
