Nonsense and Meaning in Ancient Greek Comedy
Kidd, Stephen E. (Brown University, Rhode Island)
This book employs the ancient Greek concept of 'nonsense' to explore an observation that has vexed comic scholarship: although comedy can be meaningful (i.e. contain political opinions, moral sentiments and aesthetic tastes), some part is just 'foolery' or 'fun'. It is important for all scholars and students of Greek comedy.
