Original brochure. Condición: Gut. 289 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Pencil entry on halft-title and cut corner of title page.Otherwise in very good condition. - Content: Francis Macdonald Comfords The Origin of Attic Comed…y, first published in 1912, was (and still is) the only full-scale attempt to discover the origin of the form of drama known as Attic Old Comedy, a form represented by the eleven extant plays of Aristophanes, produced between 425 and 388 BCE, and by fragments of other plays by Aristophanes and others that date mostly from 440 at the earliest. Basing his study on Gilbert Murrays (1912) theory about the origin of tragedy, Comford started from the standard structural forms of Aristophanic comedy and sought to trace them back to religious rituals and associated proto-dramatic forms that are not attested but might be inferred in light of comparative ethnological data. Comford not only used the traditional methods of classical philology but was one of the first classicists to use the methods being developed in the then new disciplines of historical archaeology and comparative anthropology, sociology and religion. He is thus worth reading as a pioneer of the interdisciplinary approach that has revitalized classical studies in this century. He is also important as a founding member (along with Jane Ellen Harrison, Gilbert Murray and Arthur Cook) of the group known as the Cambridge Ritualists, or the Myth and Ritual School, whose work on the origins of Greek drama inaugurated an approach to myth, religion and literature that was very influential from the 1920s through the 1960s and still has some followers today.1 Though most classicists have been from the beginning very suspicious of, and even hostile to, this kind of approach, it has been in recent years both sympathetically reevaluated and taken up again in exciting new directions.2 Historical interest aside, The Origin of Attic Comedy is worth reading today because its basic approach is still valid and its results, though wrong in many details, prove essentially right in others, establishing the book as a solid starting point for further research.
