Small personal library mark, name as well as author’s dedication on free endpaper. Series: Forme materiali e ideologie del mondo antico, 24. 'C. argues that 'Peace' is an undervalued and unusual play containing aspects of technique that are atypical of Aristophanes and which are a function of the particular historical conditions obtaining in Athens during the period of its conception and historical composition and also of the particular, discernible 'message' which Aristophanes wished to convey to his audience. For C. the play is very much concerned with Athens' allies and Athenian maltreatment of them. (...) This is a book which packs a great deal of substantial and interesting points of detail on all aspects of the play into its relatively short ambit. Any future commentator will have to pay it close attention.' (DAVID BAIN in The Classical Review (New Series), 1986, pp.201-02). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover. € 25.00 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9788820713850
