Description: Princeton University Press, Princeton, 1961. 2nd rev.and enlarged ed. XIV,343p. Richly ills.(B&W photographs and line drawings). Cloth. 'This is a revised and expanded edition of a book which appeared in 1939 and which has been a standard work ever since. In the meantime, however, much research has been done in this field. (...) The time is therefore ripe for a new edition of Bieber, to take account of recent developments and to incorporate new ideas and reconsiderations on the part of the author. (...) The approach is primarily archeological. (...). There is a general index, a chronological table, a glossary, and a bibliography, all of which are excellent (...). This is an excellent book in every way and it will be of inestimable benefit to scholars, theatrical people, and laymen alike.' (R.A. HIGGINS in The Classical Review (New Series), 1962, pp.227-29). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott.
