Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

very good dust-jacket, cover price UK 12.50 pounds, very good light blue cloth. GOLDBERG, SANDER M. The making of Menander's comedy. London: Athlone Press, 1980, vi, 148pp., . Began as a doctoral dissertation written at the Institute of Classical Studies of the University of London 1976-7 and submitted to the Department of Classical Studies at Indiana University - The discovery on papyrus of plays by Menander, the greatest writer of Greek New Comedy, at last makes possible an evaluation on his own terms of an ancient author who, through the adaptations of Plautus and Terence, profoundly influenced the course of western drama. The present study establishes a critical perspective for understanding the kind of comedy Menander wrote, his roots, the theatrical effects he sought, and the extent of his achievement. Chapters on the major plays analyse their techniques of construction and characterisation, suggesting both the strengths and the limitations of Menander’s comic tradition. This study is based on the Oxford Greek text but cites all ancient authors in translation to open the discussion to a wider audience. An introductory chapter places the tradition of New Comedy in the history of drama, and modern parallels are drawn wherever helpful. It will therefore be of value to students of drama as well as to classicists. Professor Goldberg teaches in the Department ofClassics at the University of California, Berkeley. - CONTENTS: 1. From old comedy to new -- 2. Mapping the terrain -- 3. Aspis (the shield): the mixture of modes -- 4. Perikeiromene (the shorn girl): plot and situation -- 5.
