Aristophanes: Birds: Student Edition

Autor Aristophanes Editat de Nan Dunbar
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 mar 1998
Of the 1995 full-length edition:`Aristophanes addicts unite! This book is for us. It has everything that we always wanted to know about Birds and we were unable to find in one place.' Greek Gazette `The commentary elucidates with an experts knowledge of syntax, meter, and artifacts.... The volume will remain authoritative for generations.' Religious Studies Review Birds is generally recognized as one of Aristophanes' masterpieces, for its imaginative plot (it is the source of the word `Cloudcuckooland'), and its charming and original lyrics. This is an abridgement of Nan Dunbar's widely acclaimed edition of Birds published in 1995, which was the first comprehensive edition in any language. The abridged version retains all the material designed to help the less advanced student of Greek or the non-specialist to translate, understand, and enjoy the play. It retains the notes on staging, but the metrical, textual, and ornithological problems are dealt with more summarily, and purely illustrative parallels are omitted. The Introduction covers more concisely the same ground as that of the full-length edition, but omits the detailed discussions of the individual manuscripts and their interrelations.

Recenzii

"Peter Meineck draws on his vast experience as both theatre producer and classical scholar in this lively and thoroughly contemporary translation of Aristophanes's rambunctious but heady Frogs. In highlighting Aristophanes's own concern for spectacle, stage action, and musicality, Meineck offers flexible guidance not only for modern producers of this comedy but also for readers eager to visualize an Aristophanic play in its original setting and to marvel at its enduring comic brilliance."
—Ralph M. Rosen, Vartan Gregorian Professor of the Humanities and Classical Studies, University of Pennsylvania
"Meineck's edition of Frogs is a fantastic resource for students, teachers, and anyone interested in ancient theatre. His Introduction skillfully condenses an impressive amount of information about ancient history, myth, and theatre, contextualizing the play in a clear and accessible manner. His crisp and modern translation imaginatively brings the text and music of Aristophanes to life for today’s audiences."
—Rosa Andújar, Deputy Director of Liberal Arts and Lecturer in Liberal Arts, King’s College London
"Peter Meineck’s new translation of Aristophanes' Frogs offers expert and funny solutions to [the many challenges of translating this play], and he shines most brightly when it comes to the comic playwright’s particularly hard-to-tackle choral odes and monody, as he rewrites Aristophanes' lyrics to tunes by AC/DC, Wu-Tang Clan, and Bruce Springsteen. While reading Meineck's latest translation, I had YouTube open the entire time, tapping my feet to 'Thunder Struck,' 'Triumph,' and 'The Rising.' . . . Meineck's primary objective, as always, is creating a translation that can be performed (he is founder of Aquila, a theater company that is known for original music, among other things), and his most recent offering, with its attention to music, stands out from other translations of Frogs, because Meineck represents the different musical styles of Aeschylus and Euripides in creative and modern ways. . . . Meineck's Frogs provoked such a rousing discussion in my grad-level class that I look forward to assigning it in my undergraduate classes as well. So, grab a copy of Meineck's Frogs, open YouTube, and soon you will be humming Europe's 'The Final Countdown,' but with a slight twist, after Meineck, as 'the final smackdown'."
—Laurialan Reitzammer, University of Colorado at Boulder, in Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"[T]he introduction contains all a student or teacher would need to fully understand the play. Firstly, the reader is provided with a clear and concise historical and cultural background to the play spread over 15 pages. This also includes sub-divided information on all the conventions of Old Comedy including festivals, the theatre building, masks, costumes, props, music and staging. Secondly, Meineck provides the reader with a 36-page character information list. . . . I found this to be a really useful resource for students of all abilities in my classes. . . . For those . . . who would like to start their exploration into Greek comedy, or for those more seasoned readers looking for an interesting take on the work of Aristophanes, this is a worthwhile read."
—Ben Greenley, in Journal of Classics Teaching
