Aristophanes: Four Plays
W W Norton & Co Ltd
Aristophanes\u2019s satirical masterpieces, immensely popular with the Athenian public, were frequently crude, even obscene. His plays revealed to his contemporaries, and now teach us today, that when those in power act obscenely, patriotic obscenity is a fitting response. Until now English translations have failed to capture Aristophanes\u2019s poetic genius. Aaron Poochigian, the first poet-classicist to tackle these plays in a generation, offers \u201Ceffortlessly readable and genuinely theatrical\u201D (Simon Armitage) versions of four of Aristophanes\u2019s most entertaining, provocative and lyrically ingenious comedies, finally giving twenty-first-century readers a sense of the subversive pleasure audiences felt when these works were first performed on the Athenian stage.\n\nAristophanes: Four Plays\nClouds, Birds, Lysistrata, Women of the Assembly\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPle;
