Excerpt from Daos: Tableau de la Comédie Grecque Pendant la Période Dite Nouvelle
Pour nous faire une idée de ce que fut la ve'x, nous avons à notre disposition deux catégories de documents d'abord des fragments originaux, auxquels il convient d'ajouter quelques appréciations et renseignements divers émanant d'écrivains anciens puis des imita tions plus ou' moins fidèles, des oeuvres dérivées, grecques et latines. Le trésor des fragments originaux s'est, en ces temps der niers, considérablement enrichit. Depuis dix ans surtout ont été publiés tour a tour des morceaux importants de plusieurs pièces de Ménandre, et aussi des débris d'autres comédies anonymes, beau coup plus développés et plus intéressants au point de vue drama tique que les malheureuses bribes contenues dans le recueil de Koek Néanmoins, les documents de la seconde espèce forment.

Paperback. Condition: 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.
