John Dover Wilson's New Shakespeare, published between 1921 & 1966, became the classic Cambridge edition of Shakespeare's plays & poems until the 1980s. The series, long since out-of-print, is now reissued. Each work is available both individually & as a set, & each contains a lengthy & lively introduction, main text, & substantial notes & glossary printed at the back. The edition, which began with The Tempest ended with The Sonnets, put into practice the techniques & theories that had evolved under the 'New Bibliography'. Remarkably by today's standards, although it took the best part of half a century to produce, the New Shakespeare involved only a small band of editors besides Dover Wilson himself. As the volumes took shape, many of Dover Wilson's textual methods acquired general acceptance & became an established part of later editorial practice.

These three plays by the great comic playwright Aristophanes (c. 446-386 BCE), the well-known Lysistrata, and the less familiar Women at the Thesmophoria and Assemblywomen, are the earliest surviving portrayals of contemporary women in the European literary tradition. These plays provide a unique glimpse of women not only in their familiar domestic roles but also in relation to household and city, religion and government, war and peace, theater and festival, and, of course, to men. This freshly revised edition presents, for the first time in a single volume, all three plays in faithful modern

Longtemps, le IVe siècle athénien a été considéré comme un siècle de déclin. Une des manifestations de ce déclin aurait été le dysfonctionnement des institutions démocratiques. Cette opinion était essentiellement fondée sur les critiques prêtées à Socrate par deux de ses disciples, Platon et Xénophon, ainsi que sur les remarques d'Aristote tant dans la Politique que dans la Constitution d'Athènes. Face à ce déclin, ces intellectuels proposaient, sinon des solutions, du moins des modèles inspirés d'un passé idéalisé ou élaborés de toutes pièces. Ce qui les caractérisait, en dépit des différences plus ou moins sensibles, c'était le fait de tenir toute activité autre que la guerre ou la politique comme indigne de l'homme libre. [...] Même le travail de la terre était interdit aux citoyens de ces cités modèles, ce travail de la terre qu'en revanche Xénophon ennoblissait pour mieux lui opposer les activités décriées qu'étaient l'artisanat et le commerce. Le livre de Saber Mansouri a le grand mérite de montrer qu'une telle attitude ne correspondait pas aux réalités de l'Athènes du IVe siècle où il existait une population d'artisans et de commerçants qui, lorsqu'ils étaient citoyens, étaient d'autant plus étroitement associés à la vie politique de la cité qu'ils se rendaient plus volontiers aux assemblées de la Pnyx que les paysans et, surtout, fréquentaient l'agora. Cet ouvrage, en mettant l'accent sur l'implication dans la vie politique de la cité non seulement de citoyens exerçant les métiers de l'artisanat et du commerce, mais aussi de certains métèques, va à l'encontre des idées reçues qui ne voient dans le citoyen athénien que l'homo politicus, pour reprendre la formule de Max Weber.

"These collected papers construct a distinctive view of classical Athens and of Athenian democracy, a view which takes seriously the evidence of settlement archaeology and of art history. This evidence both casts new light on traditional questions and enables new questions to be asked, questions concerning the experience of being an Athenian citizen, how the institutions of democracy affected the Athenian economy, and how the rituals of religion related to the rituals of democratic politics. Unlike books on Athenian democracy which focus on the Assembly and Council, this book gives full weight to women as well as men, slave as well as free, and the rural worker as well as the leisured man about town. Robin Osborne's work has been in the forefront of the resurgence of interest in Athenian law and Athenian religion; these essays are each placed in their scholarly context, and point the direction for future research"--Provided by publisher.
