Talking about Laughter by Alan H Sommerstein
Fourteen studies, including some previously unpublished, by Alan Sommerstein on Aristophanes and his fellow dramatists. Each chapter deals with its own topic, but between them they build up a multifaceted picture of the dramatist, the genre, and its interactions with the society of classical Athens.
As one would expect, the scholarship in this volume is of high standard throughoutSommerstein shows an excellent awareness of the social and political contexts of his subject matter, and his methodology... is exemplary. * Andrew Hartwig, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
this handsome volume is a worthy tribute to the poet's distinguished editor * John Taylor, The Anglo-Hellenic Review *
