"In this book Michael Silk presents a radically new critical study of Aristophanes.

Through an exploration of Aristophanes' comic poetry, informed by a wide range of theory from Kierkegaard to Adorno, a particular consideration of Aristophanes' own understanding of his medium, and challenging comparisons with modern literature, this book adds a new chapter to the long-standing debate about the nature and potentialities of comedy. Close analyses of Aristophanes' language and style, lyric poetry, presentation of character, organizational structures, and humorous modes, are conducted in this spirit.".

Oxford University Press, Oxford (.), 2000. 456p. Cloth. Pp.425-428 wrinkled. Small personal library mark and name on free endpaper. Through an exploration of Aristophanes' comic poetry, informed by a wide range of theory from Kierkegaard to Adorno, a particular consideration of Aristophanes' own understanding of his medium, and challenging comparisons with modern literature, this book adds a new chapter to the long-standing debate about the nature and potentialities of comedy. Close analyses of Aristophanes' language and style, lyric poetry, presentation of character, organizational structures, and humorous modes, are conducted in this spirit. (Publisher's information). 'On the whole this is a valuable book. Silk has made us think about a number of important points, the uniqueness of Aristophanes, the astonishing versatility of his comic genius, the very nature of comedy itself and its symbiotic relationship with tragedy. Most valuable of all is the light that Silk sheds on Aristophanes' words and expressions. No would-be translator or commentator on Old Comedy can proceed without a careful consultation of Silk's studies of comic language.' (I.C. STOREY in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2001.09.35). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover. Seller Inventory # 23496
