Sub palliolo sordido: Studi sulla commedia frammentaria greca e latina - Studies on Greek and Roman Fragmentary Comedies

This scholarly volume delves into the rich world of fragmentary comedies from ancient Greece and Rome, reflecting the collaborative efforts of a diverse group of researchers. Each contribution sheds light on the significance of these remnants, exploring how they illuminate the theatrical practices and cultural contexts of antiquity. By focusing on the nuances of fragmented works, the authors aim to offer a deeper understanding of both comedic forms and the social commentary embedded within them.

Through their analyses, the writers reconceptualize the legacy of ancient comedic literature, placing particular emphasis on the gaps that remain in the historical record. They invite readers to consider how the surviving fragments not only enhance our comprehension of classical comedy but also reveal the complexities of ancient societal norms, humor, and artistic expression. This collection serves as a tribute to the enduring impact and relevance of fragmentary theatrical traditions in the study of classical literature.
