`the treatment of the play is thorough...There is much of value
contained herein, especially from the point of view of the
collection of issues.'
Bryn Mawr Classical Review 7.3
`a stimulating companion to the study of the works of Aristophanes
... The book is aimed mainly towards those meeting Aristophanes for
the first time, though more seasoned readers will find much to
stimulate them in this compact and clearly written guide. We must
congratulate Professor Macdowall on producing a book which manages
very successfully to cover a good deal of ground within a
manageable format. He provides many shrewd insights into the works
of
Aristophanes, and underlines the importance of reading the plays
against the backcloth of contemporary Athenian society and
politics.'
Richard Harrison, The Greek Gazette
