Reviews

This is a book full of interesting ideas, one that scholars and students should consult often. -- Charles Platter The New England Classical Journal


This is a book full of interesting ideas, one that scholars and students should consult often. -- Charles Platter * The New England Classical Journal * This book will be of interest to all scholars of ancient Greek drama, but it is also accessible to a broader scholarly audience... I recommend this intelligent and thought-provoking book to any scholar interested in the possibility of a bookish culture of readers and literary critics in classical Athens. -- Judith Fletcher, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada * Bryn Mawr Classical Review * Das buch wird die Diskussion um die Alte Komodie in begrussenswerter Weise befruchten, nicht zuletzt wel die fragmentarische uberlieferung durchgangig in grosstem Umfang miteinbezogen wird. Dass die Titel der Stucke grundsatzlich in englischer Version gegeben werden, mutet provinziell an. -- Ernst-Richard Schwinge * GNOMON *
