Aristophanes: Clouds

Edited with Introduction and Commentary by K. J. Dover. The manuscripts collated for earlier editions of this play have been examined afresh, and many others have been collated for the first time. The Introduction includes summary discussion of the staging, casting, and formal structure of the play; reconsideration of the relation between the original and revised versions, and of Aristophanes' attitude to Socrates; and a new approach to Strepsiades' social relationships and to the poet's standpoint in the contest between Right and Wrong. The Commentary includes metrica analyses and discussion of significant textual problems. It also attempts to re-create, as if for a producer, movement, gesture, and tone at each moment of the play.
