SILK, M. S., Aristophanes and the Definition of Comedy. Oxford University Press, 2000. 462p. Hardback. Aristophanes and the Definition of Comedy by M.S. Silk appeared in January and to my mind, at the end of the year, remains unrivalled for its originality and excellence. This study puts flesh - indeed muscles - on the bones of the numerous other studies of the so-called Old Comedy which appeared during the last decade of the previous century. None matches the imagination, breadth and depth of Silk's study.
