BL Covers every play, with extensive quotations in English
Aristophanes' comedies are famous for their comic characters and earthy humour, but they are also highly topical, with many contemporary political allusions easily missed today. Douglas MacDowell provides students with a long needed accessible and essential introductory guide to the plays, focusing particularly on information about the Athens of the day.
