Title: Cleon, Knights, and Aristophanes' Politics.
Description: Lanham, New York / London, 1978. VIII,96p. Paperback. Small personal library mark, name as well as author's dedication on free endpaper. 'What political views, if any, was Aristophanes trying to put across to the Athenians? The question has been discussed over and over again (...), but agreement seems to be as far off as ever. (...) Edmunds concentrates on a single play, Knights, the most thoroughly political of them all. (...) The purose of his book is to explain 'the ideological background of Aristophanes' opposition to Cleon. (...) (The book makes) some good points, but (is not) fully convincing.' (DOUGLAS M. MACDOWELL in The Classical Review (New Series), 1988, pp.215-17). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover.
