Focusing on Aristophanes' comic poetry, this critical study by Professor Silk offers fresh insights by integrating diverse theories from thinkers like Kierkegaard and Adorno. It delves into Aristophanes' self-perception as a poet and draws provocative parallels with contemporary literature, enriching the ongoing discourse on the essence and capabilities of comedy. This innovative approach not only reexamines Aristophanes' work but also contributes significantly to the broader understanding of comedic expression.
