The Spirit of Aristophanes is a wide-ranging collection of new studies of ancient literature and culture from fifth-century drama to the Roman novel. The essays use an array of approaches that will appeal to scholars and students interested in classical studies, gender and sexuality, literary history, performance and textual criticism. This volume has been prepared in tribute to Jeffrey Henderson, William Goodwin Aurelio Professor of Greek Language and Literature Emeritus of Boston University and General Editor of the Loeb Classical Library. His vibrant research on classical literature, political ideology, civic culture, identity, obscenity and translation has shaped scholarly discourse for decades and has inspired each of the essays in this volume.

Fratanuono, she edited Pushing the Boundaries of Historia (Routledge, 2018); and with Georgia L. Irby, she authored A Little Latin Reader (OUP, 2e 2017) and A New Latin Primer (OUP, 2015). She also has written numerous articles and book chapters on the staging of ancient comedy and the reception of Greek drama by contemporary American playwrights. Dustin W. Dixon is Assistant Professor of Classics at Grinnell College. He is co-author of Performing Gods in Classical Antiquity and the Age of Shakespeare (Bloomsbury Academic, 2021).
