ROMANO, Cecilia, Responsioni libere nei canti di Aristofane. Edizioni dell'Ateneo, Roma, 1992. 144p. Soft cover. Front cover slightly creased. Series: Studi di Metrica Classica, 8.'Metre has long occupied an important and honourable position within Italian scholarship, and Romano continues the tradition of her one-time mentors Bruno Gentili and Franca Persuino with a useful volume on free responsion in the lyrics of Aristophanes. (...) R.'s aim is to investigate the responsion between strophe and antistrophe, which ancient writers on metre postulate should be exact. The reality of Aristophanes' plays on the other hand shows numerous instances of what is at times a radical departure from this theoretical norm, and R. Questions whether such breaches should be interpreted as the result of the playwright's deliberate intention, or whether they stem simply from corruption in the manuscript tradition, as suggested by Paul Maas. (...) What R. does achieve is to go beyond recognition to an analysis of actual function.' (S. IRELAND in The Classical Review (New Series), 1993, p.420).

RUSSO, C.F., Aristophanes. An Author for the Stage. Translated by K. Wren. Routledge, London/NewYork, 1994. XIII,279p.Cloth. Library mark on tail spine. Small personal library mark and name on free endpaper.Original title: Aristofane autore di teatro. Translation based on the revised Italian editions of 1984 and 1992. Carlo Ferdinando Russo's acclaimed work on Aristophanes examines his comedies as plays intended for the stage - not the page. The author considers the invention of printing as a cause of root changes in the nature of drama: The modern reader is inclined to see Aristophanes as an author of texts for reading, rather than of fluid libretti for performance. In Aristophanes, an Author for the Stage , Russo's in-depth philological analysis of the plays is founded on an ever present perception of the realities of Greek theatre. Essential reading for any student of Greek comedy. From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover. € 37.50 (Antiquarian)

'Both ancient and modern critics have been fully aware of the many deviations from Attic usage to be found in Plato. the usual assumption has been that Plato made use of such departures from normal Attic, often in imitation of epic or tragic style, in order to lend wherever appropriate a poetic coloration to his dialogues. On the contrary Sakalis is convinced that while Plato often writes as a poet, he frequently drew upon Ionic sources, including Herodotus, the early philosophers, and the Hippocratic corpus, and this for other than poetic effect, sometimes because these words and phrases had entered current speech.'
