Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
'This posthumous work of the late Sir A. W. Pickard-Cambridge needs no praise from a reviewer. The author had long been recognised as the chief authority in England on the externals of the ancient drama... It is extremely factual. It gives, with the very minimum of conjectural theory, a very complete account ... of the recorded facts about the festivals.' Gilbert Murray, Spectator 'Like all Pickard-Cambridge's work, this book makes an 7mmediate and lasting impression of good taste and good sense, as well as a profound knowledge of the texts, the works of art, and the views of other scholars. Here, as nowhere else, we have all the evidence - literary, epigraphic, and monumental - set out in convenient form.' W. Beare, Classical Review '(this) scholarly and informative book is ... a great contribution to the history of ancient drama and civilization.' M. Beiber, American Journal of Philology Read more...
