商品簡介
Follows the rise and fall of the personification of wealth (in the allegorical figure of the god Plautus) through the comedies of Aristophanes and Lucians and the tragedies of Shakespeare. Arguing that the representation of Plautus through the classical age, as well as his disappearance with the rise of capitalism, is intimately connected with economic relations of property, power, and wealth, the author employs Marxist, psychoanalytic, and literary criticism to the topic.
