The Comic Theatre of Greece and Rome

F. H. Sandbach

4.9/5 (24305 ratings)

Description:"In this series leading classical scholars interpret afresh the ancient world for the modern reader. They stress those questions and institutions that most concern us today: the interplay between economic factors and politics, the struggle to find a balance between the state and the individual, the role of the intellectual. Most of the books in this series centre on the focal periods, those of the great literature and art: the world of Herodotus and the tragedians, Plato and Aristotle, Cicero and Caesar, Virgil, Horace and Tacitus. For a thousand years comedy entertained and influenced first Greek spectators and then Greek readers. The names of nearly 250 authors are known; until recently the only plays that survived were by Aristophanes. But during this century the sands of Egypt have yielded up a complete play by Menander, the greater parts of three more and considerable remains of others. These discoveries provide a firmer basis for assessing what is termed New Comedy, of which he was the greatest exponent. Comedy had less honor at Rome. Professor Sandbach in reviewing the plays of Plautus and Terence considers their relation to their models and the conditions in which they were acted. To conclude he indicates how the revival of these Latin plays at the Renaissance gave a decisive impulse to the development of comedy which began throughout Western Europe in the sixteenth century." -- Publisher.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
