Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author discusses the New Comedy, a period in Greek comedic drama that spanned the century following Alexander the Greatâs death in 323 BCE. This book considers the influential playwright Menander as the New Comedyâs most celebrated representative, examining his work and the work of his contemporaries within the broader context of Greek theatrical history. The author considers the ways in which the New Comedy differed from earlier Greek comedies in terms of subject matter, style, social and political representation, and reception, drawing from fragments from papyrus finds, ancient literary critics, and Menanderâs own plays. The author also analyzes the significant influence of the New Comedy on later Roman comedy and Renaissance drama.
