Reviews

'College and university libraries should own a copy for students and faculty looking for a current, comprehensive bibliography to the play.'
Martha Habash, Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2007

‘For an overall series of the entire corpus, including critical text, commentary, translation, and full introduction, all subsumed to one man’s intelligent analysis and wide-ranging scholarship, Sommerstein stands triumphantly alone. […] Aristophanes is lucky to have so devoted, erudite, and witty a modern celebrant.’
