Small personal library mark and name on free endpaper. Diss. Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.'This is a concise, sensible, and sensitive essay on a familiar topic: Aristophanes' attitude to the past and his dramatic exploitation of it. (...) The complexities of Comedy as an art-from have been adequately explored, and its role as a 'protest against reality' has been perceived; we must also take account of the fact that there exists a type of temperament, resilient and fundamentally irreverent, to which everything has its funny side, and this temperament, a strong weapon in times of suffering and war (which the Greeks half regarded as an inescapable phenomenon of nature), was one of Aristophanes' assets.'

'Literary criticism matters because ... it is concerned not simply with the narrow issue of how we should read specific texts, but with larger and more fundamental questions about the nature and function of literature. The new Cambridge History of Literary Criticism, which aims to provide a comprehensive and authoritative treatment of the subject from classical antiquity to the present day, is therefore a welcome prospect. Volume One, the first of a projected nine volumes, covers the whole field of ancient criticism up to the early fourth century AD and provides the sort of thorough and judicious account that we would expect from a standard work of reference.'

KENNY, A., The Aristotelian Ethics. A Study of the Relationship between the Eudemian and Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1978. XI,250p. Cloth. Remains of adhesive on free endpaper. Small personal library mark and name on free endpaper. (Rare).'In this remarkable book Dr. Kenny deploys a succession of arguments, historical, philological, and philosophical, in an investigation into the relationship between the Eudemian Ethics (EE) and the Nicomachean Ethics (NE) of Aristotle. His primary objective is to show that the so called disputed or common books, traditionally printed as books 5, 6, and 7 of NE and labeled by Kenny AE (Aristotelian Ethics), belonged originally to the Eudemian Ethics. (…) The questions of the relative priority and superiority of NE and EE and of the provenance of the disputed books have a long and venerable history; Kenny urges us to consider the last independently of the others, arguying that it both can and should be settled first.'
