Before the entries, there is a small map detailing mainland Greece and the Aegean Sea. Most of the alphabetically arranged entries are brief. The longest entries, which are those for individual plays, cover several pages and offer approximate date, a summary, and a commentary. Many entries include a bibliography, and many also have a list of ancient sources.
Five appendixes follow the A-Z entries. Appendix 1 contains a list of both the ancient and modern titles of all the plays attributed to each of the eight playwrights. Appendix 2 is a listing of classical playwrights, noting language, genre, and dates. Appendix 3 lists all of the titles attributed to any classical playwright, including fragmented or nonsurviving plays. Appendix 4 is a chronology of significant years in the ancient Greek and Roman drama world. Finally, appendix 5 is a topically arranged bibliography of modern books related to classical drama.
This is good beginner's guide to classical drama and would be appropriate for both public libraries and academic libraries serving an undergraduate population. Jennifer Dawson
