{"product_id":"ancient-greek-comedy-almut-fries-9783110645095","title":"Ancient Greek Comedy: Genre - Texts - Reception","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume, in honour of Angus M. Bowie, collects seventeen original essays on Greek comedy. Its contributors treat questions of origin, genre and artistic expression, interpret individual plays from different angles (literary, historical, performative) and cover aspects of reception from antiquity to the 20th century. Topics that have not received much attention so far, such as the prehistory of Doric comedy or music in Old Comedy, receive a prominent place. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe essays are arranged in three sections: (1) Genre, (2) Texts and Contexts, (3) Reception. Within each section the chapters are as far as possible arranged in chronological order, according to historical time or to the (putative) dates of the plays under discussion. Thus readers will be able to construe their own diachronic and thematic connections, for example between the portrayal of stock characters in early Doric farce and developed Attic New Comedy or between different forms of comic reception in the fourth century BC. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is intended for professional scholars, graduate and undergraduate students. Its wide range of subjects and approaches will appeal not only to those working on Greek comedy, but to anyone interested in Greek drama and its afterlife.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Almut Fries\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110645092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110645095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/22\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Almut Fries","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136978989311,"sku":"9783110645095","price":192.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92cc82df-e422-4611-a67b-89f8d4979b00.jpg?v=1770165734","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ancient-greek-comedy-almut-fries-9783110645095","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
