Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces readers who may have no previous knowledge of Menander's comedies to Epitrepontes (The Arbitration), arguably the most exquisitely crafted of his better-preserved plays. It explains what we know about the play, how we know it, and how far we can tentatively fill in the gaps in our knowledge. Sommerstein analyses the nature of the dramatic genre (Athenian New Comedy) to which Epitrepontes belongs. He assesses the plot and the characters, every one of whom makes an essential contribution to the uplifting outcome, and the social and ethical assumptions that dramatist and audience shared. As well as looking at the influences of earlier drama and of contemporary philosophical and popular thought, he considers the afterlife of Menandrian comedy in general and of Epitrepontes in particular, both in antiquity and in modern times, but also in the long period in between, when Menander was the great dramatist whose plays were thought to have been irrevocably lost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Four Plays of Menander: The Hero, Epitrepontes, Periceiromene and Samia; Edited With Introductions, Explanatory Notes, Critical Appendix, and Bibliography This edition has been prepared in the belief that American college students may now profitably read Menander, the unrivaled master of Plautus and Terence, if the text of the manuscript found at Aphroditopolis in 1905 is made available to them in an edition adapted to their needs. Menander should prove no more difficult to the average college freshman than Terence, and considerably less difficult than Plautus. To those who read Plautus and Terence in our colleges Menander should make a direct and forceful appeal, such is the lucidity and charm of his style, his fidelity to life in the portrayal of character, and the logical simplicity of his plots. Even the young student will be sensible of the difference in atmosphere between the more or less exotic Graeco-Roman comedies and those of the Greek poet, who depicts the men and women of his own day with the skill of one who knew them well and was himself a product of the social conditions in which they lived. The chief difficulties that confront the editor who sets himself the task of adapting the new plays to the needs of college students arise from the illegibility and mutilation of certain portions of the manuscript and the fragmentary state in which the several plays are preserved. In dealing with mutilated and illegible lines I have generally attempted to supply a text which should duly take into account the preserved traces of writing and the reported extent of the lacunae and at the same time should yield a meaning consistent with the immediate context, with the plot as a whole, and with Menander's known stylistic and metrical usage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new study of Menander casts fresh light not only on the techniques of the playwright but also on the literary and historical contexts of the plays. Menander (342/1-292/1 BCE) wrote over a hundred popular comedies, several of which were adapted by Plautus and Terence. Through them, he was a major influence on Shakespeare and Molière. However, his work survived only in excerpts and quotation until some significant texts reappeared in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries on papyrus. The mystery of their loss and rediscovery has raised key questions surrounding the transmission of these and other Greek texts. Theatrical masks from the fourth century BCE discovered on the island of Lipari now also provide important material with which this book examines how the plays were originally performed. A detailed investigation of their historical setting is offered which engages with recent debates on the importance of social status and citizenship in Menander's plays. The techniques of characterization are also examined, with particular focus on women, slaves and power relationships in his Epitrepontes. It appears that the audience was invited, sometimes subversively, behind the mask of this sophisticated comedy to discover that people do not always conform to literary expectations and social norms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Four Plays of Menander: The Hero, Epitrepontes, Periceiromene and Samia; Edited With Introductions, Explanatory Notes, Critical Appendix, and Bibliography Imperial Public Library of St. Petersburg, have been of assistance in constituting the text. I have ventured to depend upon these reproductions in a few instances, especially in the mutilated end of the second Leipzig fragment, and to depart from the readings favored by the scholars who have examined the manuscripts directly. The lack of a photographic reproduction of the Cairo manuscript is a serious handicap to every editor and has greatly retarded the work of reconstructing the text. Not only are passages still uncertain which would in all probability have been finally restored, but the wavering and often conflicting testimony of the scholars who have examined the papyrus has led to an unnecessary and unfortunate multiplication of conjectural restorations. And yet, with our pres ent imperfect knowledge of this manuscript, many proposed restorw tions which will ultimately be discarded have at present a provisional standing in the history of the text and will assist both in the final decipherment of doubtful verses and in the interpretation of hope lessly defective passages. I have therefore thought it desirable to give in the Critical Appendix a full report of the divergent or mutually complementary readings of Lefebvre, Korte, and di Ricci, and also to record rather fully the more notable restorations that have been suggested. It is hoped that the Critical Appendix, in spite of its bulk, will be found useful as a record of the scholarly labor which has been bestowed upon this manuscript since its dis covery. It should be added, however, that no such record can do full justice to the contributions of the first editor, M. Lefebvre.

Download or read book Women and the Comic Plot in Menander written by Ariana Traill and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-05-22 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a fresh look at mistaken identity in the work of an author who helped to introduce the device to comedy, in this book Professor Traill shows how the outrageous mistakes many male characters in Menander make about women are grounded in their own emotional needs. The core of the argument derives from analysis of speeches by or about women, with particular attention to the language used to articulate problems of knowledge and perception, responsibility and judgement. Not only does Menander freely borrow language, situations, and themes from tragedy, but he also engages with some of tragedy's epistemological questions, particularly the question of how people interpret what they see and hear. Menander was instrumental in turning the tragic theme of human ignorance into a comic device and inventing a plot type with enormous impact on the western tradition. This book provides original insights into his achievements within their historical and intellectual context.
