BAIN, D., Actors and Audience. A Study of Asides and Related Conventions in Greek Drama. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1977. X,230p. Cloth wrps. A few pen markings from WGA. Review from Charles Garton (Classical Philology, 1981, pp.147-150) loosely inserted. Nice copy.'This excellent book investigates the aside as a dramatic convention which demands that the audience accept a certain lack of realism, and some other conventions connected with the dramatic illusion. (…) B.’s main achievement is to have clarified certain conventions of New Comedy and to have shown the different ways in which Menander and Roman comedy used these conventions, but he also offers acute and judicious comment on scores of passages (indexed), including many which he excludes from his definition of asides.'

BLUNDELL, J., Menander and the Monologue. Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, Göttingen, 1980. 91p. Sewn. Personal summary from WGA and part of thesis of Blundell loosely inserted. Series: Hypomnemata, Heft 59. (Rare).'Menander and the Monologue, which grew out of a thesis (Oxford B.Phil., 1974), is considerable more technical (than S.M. Goldberg's The Making of Menander's Comedy). It complements in its more limited field some recent (and outstanding) work by Bain, Mastronarde, and Taplin on the dramatic conventions of Greek drama. Blundell begins by examining the formal aspects of monolgue technique in Menander (e.g. monologues spoken by a new arrival on an occupied stage; overhearing; asides; link monologues). He then analyses in their turn each of the monologues in the three best preserved comedies (Epitrepontes, Samia, Dyskolos). Finally, he investigates two curious uses of the second person singular in the monologues (self-address; apostrophe of an absent character). Blundell has pursued his researches sensitively and sytematically, and he works out his categories with admirable logic and lucidity.(...) This little monograph provides a serviceable tool for students and specialists alike.' (W. GEOFFREY ARNOTT in Greece & Rome, 1981, p.216). From the library of the late Prof. W.
