This edition of Aristophanes' comedy is intended for students and scholars. It includes an examination of the comic and dramatic qualities of the play and an introduction to the text covering aspects of the play from historical background to metrical explanations and manuscript tradition.
The Wasps is one of the most entertaining and characteristic comedies of Aristophanes, and the absence of fundamental difficulties in the text makes it especially suitable for newcomers to his plays. This paperback edition (replacing the hardback first published in 1971) intended for sixth form and first-degree students, as well as professional scholars, includes an introduction, a revised text, an apparatus criticus based on a fresh examination of the manuscripts, and a full commentary. Particular attention is paid to questions of performance, and to the play''s outstanding comic and dramatic qualities.
