SEGAL, E.(ed.), Oxford Readings in Greek Tragedy. Oxford University Press, London (...), 1983. IX,453p. Cloth wrps. With signature from Prof. W.G. Arnott on free endpaper. Nice copy. 'This is a very useful collection of articles and excerpts on (mostly) particular plays. (...) A valuable feature of the collection is that several items are newly translated into English, and another is that the more familiar modes of scholarship are supplemented by the Marxist tones of George Thomson, the structuralism of Jean-Pierre Vernant, the Nietzschean tinges of Karl Reinhardt.' (M.S. SILK in Greece & Rome, 1994, p.208). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 65.00 (Antiquarian)

SEGAL, E., Roman Laughter. The Comedy of Plautus. Oxford University Press, NewYork / Oxford, 1987. 2nd ed. 229p. Paperback. A bit yellowed. Small personal library mark, name as well as author's dedication on free endpaper. From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover. 'Segal's stated intention in this, the first English book exclusively on Plautus, is to set the playwright in relation to contemporary Roman culture and to the comic tradition (...). The theme is that 'the holiday-occasion and the festival are parallel manifestations of the same pattern of culture'', and that 'the festive feeling, as Freud describes it, is the liberty to do what as a rule is prohibited', so that Plautine comedy, being essentially part of a holiday-occasion, may be regarded as a 'saturnalian overthrow of the Roman value-system.' (A.S. GRATWICK on the 1st ed. in The Classical Review (New Series), 1970, p.333). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover. € 27.50 (Antiquarian)
