Recenzje

In this beautifully produced and generously accessible volume, Piqueux traces the presence of the body on the stages of Old and Middle Comedy as it is reflected in both text and image...Piqueux's work develops a thorny collection of evidence into a legible archive, and she is largely persuasive in her readings of it; her mastery of the iconographic record and her skill as an interpreter of vase imagery are on display throughout the book.
