26The Aesthetics of Mimesis: Ancient Texts and Modern ProblemsPrinceton University Press. 2002.Mimesis is one of the oldest, most fundamental concepts in Western aesthetics.

Combining classical scholarship, philosophical analysis, and the history of i…Read more

Any attempt to study sets of cultural attitudes towards laughter, or the particular types of personal conduct which these attitudes shape and influence, must certainly adopt a wider perspective t…Read more

23Greek Laughter: a Study of Cultural Psychology from Homer to Early ChristianityCambridge University Press. 2008.The first book to offer an integrated reading of ancient Greek attitudes to laughter. Taking material from various genres and contexts, the book analyses both the theory and the practice of laughter as a revealing expression of Greek values and mentalities.
