About This Item
Patròn Editiore, Bologna, 1979.176p. Sewn. Cover a little bit stained. 'Questa draws attention to the similarity of thematic (occasionally even verbal) material of romantic melodramas like 'Iphigenia in Tauris' and 'Helen', and of Plautine New Comedy derivarives like 'Miles', 'Rudens', 'Captivi' to traditional themes of the classical 'Singspiel' and opera, of which he singles out Mozart's 'Entführung' and Rossini's 'Italiana in Algeri', where, agains a background of pirate kidnaps, exotic despots, captive maidens, ardent rescuers, and scheming, or scoundrelly, servants, the familiar routines of recognition, turning-of-tables, and nick-of-time-rescues, contribute to the happy endings of escapist entertainment: a learned and urbane little book, which will interest classical scholars who are also opera enthusiasts.' (E. KERR BORTHWICK in The classical Review (New Series), 1980, p.186). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott.

About Scrinium Classical Antiquity
Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
