3.0 out of 5 stars Descent, 19 Feb 2004
By Petrides Antonis (Nicosia, Cyprus) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Dana Sutton is a respected scholar of classical drama, mostly known for his groundbreaking war on satyr drama. The book at hand is not his most scholarly achievement: its intended readership is much wider. The readings of plays it includes are not always original or altogether cogent. Nevertheless, it is one of the few full-scale treatments of this all-important comic motif available in English.
