New York: Doubleday Anchor, 1961 Book. Near Fine. Soft cover. This book was originally published in 1934. Beginning with Aristotle's observation that from the earliest stage Attic Comedy had 'certain definite forms', F. M.

Edited with Foreword and additional notes by Theodore H. Gaster. Crisp, tight vintage copy - looks almost unread.Old bookstore stamp on ffep. else fine .
