Aristophanes was the renowned master of Old Attic Comedy, a dramatic genre defined by its topical satire, high poetry, frank speech, and obscenity. Since their initial production in classical Athens, his comedies have fascinated, inspired, and repelled critics, readers, translators, and performers. The book includes seventeen chapters that explore the ways in which the plays of Aristophanes have been understood, appropriated, adapted, translated, taught, and staged. Careful attention has been given to critical moments of reception across temporal, linguistic, cultural, and national boundaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Consistently thoughtful and frequently quite useful, Philip Walsh’s edited volume on the reception of Aristophanes, part of Brill’s Companions to Classical Reception series, is a model of the form. (...) this book should be a touchstone for future work on Aristophanes in the longue durée. (...)  This is a handsomely produced volume, enhanced by the colorful inclusion of nearly forty recent Lysistrata posters compiled by Mitchell, one of which also graces the cover. (...) Walsh’s useful and engaging volume on the reception of Aristophanes is a testament to the maturity of the approach.\" A. C.
