Reviews
"This thoughtfully designed guide not only provides background, play summaries, critical analysis, and bibliography, but also surveys modern approaches to Greek drama. Comprehensive, reliable, and enlightening, it will be a boon to students and their teachers." Justina Gregory, Smith College., "It guides without being too prescriptive; it is wide-ranging in the views it explores, judicious in its emphases and well balanced in its conclusions". (Prudentia, 1 October 2010) "The book will be of enormous value for students and extremely useful as a teaching aid, and it will surely be a rare scholar who does not learn anything new from its wealth of detail." The Classical Review "This book is a useful guide to the basics of the form and history of ancient Greek theater. Excellent resource for both undergraduate and graduate students." Religious Studies Review "The highlight of this book is the predictably excellent chapter on comedy." Phoenix
