From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed, minimally discolored binding, otherwise very good and clean. With dedication from the author to Jeffrey Henderson. / Leicht berieben, Einband minimal verfärbt, sonst sehr gut und sauber. Mit Widmung des Autors an Jeffrey Henderson. - This book investigates the idea of comic seriousness in Old Comedy. The issue has been a vexing one in classical studies, and the most traditional stance has been that Aristophanes' comedies reflect his personal ideology, reducing the plays to little more than political speeches. Riu concludes, in contrast, that we should abandon our preconceptions about comic seriousness and approach the language of Aristophanes with care and precision, alert to the nuances of meaning that the comedic genre entails.
