Notes
Alan H Sommerstein is Professor of Greek and Director of the Centre for Ancient Drama and its Reception, University of Nottingham; editor of the Aristophanes volumes in the Aris PHIllips Classical Texts series and of Aeschylus Eumenides (Cambridge, 1989); author of Aeschylean Tragedy (Bari, 1996) and of Greek Drama and Dramatists (London, 2002); co-editor of Tragedy, Comedy and the Polis (Bari, 1993), Shards from Kolonos: Studies in Sophoclean Fragments (Bari, forthcoming) and several other multi-author volumes. He is coordinating a collaborative edition of selected fragmentary plays of Sophocles for this series.
‘For an overall series of the entire corpus, including critical
text, commentary, translation, and full introduction, all subsumed
to one man’s intelligent analysis and wide-ranging scholarship,
Sommerstein stands triumphantly alone. […] Aristophanes is lucky to
have so devoted, erudite, and witty a modern celebrant.’
Scholia
'Sommerstein has exercised throughout the refreshing independence
of judgement, backed by learning.’
JACT
‘This work is a fine and unpretentious introduction to Aristophanic
comedy.’Journal of Hellenic Studies
