Description

Carlo Ferdinando Russo's seminal study of Aristophanes, first published in Italy in 1962, examines ancient Greek plays as libretti for actors and singers rather than static texts, maintaining unwavering focus on theatrical performance and stagecraft. This definitive scholarly work on Aristophanes finally appears in English with substantial updates, offering essential insight into Athenian comedy for students, classicists and drama enthusiasts. Russo's approach bridges rigorous philological analysis with vibrant theatrical understanding, establishing him as a major figure in Aristophanic scholarship. The book remains the classic reference for understanding how Aristophanes' works functioned on the ancient stage and continue to resonate in modern theatrical interpretation.

Key Features

Russo's analysis treats Aristophanes' plays as performance pieces for actors and singers, emphasising theatrical delivery over textual study.

Originally published in Italy in 1962, this seminal work on Aristophanes has been substantially updated for the English edition.

The book combines rigorous philological scholarship with theatrical sensibility, bridging academic and performance-based approaches to ancient drama.

Essential reading for students of Athenian comedy seeking comprehensive understanding of Aristophanes' dramatic works and their stage history.
