Aristophanes in Britain

Old Comedy in the Nineteenth Century

Beschreibung

This lively and wide-ranging study explores the reception of Aristophanes in the long-nineteenth century. It examines both political and aesthetic strands of this reception, and argues that Aristophanic reception in the period was always a process of speaking to contemporary issues--making Old Comedy new.
