Description

Robson succeeds throughout in combining infectious enthusiasm and dispassionate discussion with a lightness of touch and lucidity that should appeal to students, lay readers and scholars alike. A quiet relish comes across not only in his lively discussion of sexual language, and of the ins and outs of the play’s censorship history, but also in the warmth and humour of his translations of the Greek.

Robson succeeds throughout in combining infectious enthusiasm and dispassionate discussion with a lightness of touch and lucidity that should appeal to students, lay readers and scholars alike. A quiet relish comes across not only in his lively discussion of sexual language, and of the ins and outs of the play’s censorship history, but also in the warmth and humour of his translations of the Greek.

James Robson has written a richly informative and reliable guide to one of Aristophanes’ most lively and durable comedies and, in my view, accomplished his stated goal of keeping the material at a consistently high level that is both challenging and accessible to a wide range of readers.

James Robson is Professor of Classical Studies at the Open University, UK. His publications include Humour, Obscenity and Aristophanes (2006) and Aristophanes: An Introduction (Bloomsbury Academic, 2009; shortlisted for the Anglo-Hellenic League's Runciman Award) and Sex and Sexuality in Classical Athens (2013).
