Reviews

[Opens] up Aristophanes' hilarious and vulgar texts to an exploration of their more subtle and complex underlying senses. Sara Brill, Fairfield University [The] real asset of Freydberg's work is that he has turned us in the right direction to appreciate the philosophy implicit in comedy. Robert Metcalf, University of Colorado at Denver
