商品簡介
Robson (classical studies, Open U.) offers a guide to help undergraduate students and general readers understand and appreciate the ancient Athenian playwright and his work better. In particular, he explains allusions to people and places that are not well known now, and aspects of theater and performance that have changed beyond recognition over the past two and a half millennia. Among the topics are theater space and costumes, Aristophanes the humorist, tragic fragments, talking dirty, waxing lyrical as a songwriter, politics, and translation and performance in the modern world.
