    Lysistrata

    This is definetley the most interesting and entertaining books I have ever read. It has so much to say about the society at the time- especially re: perecption of women. A must read.
    So what are everyone's opinions about it?

    Was nt [email protected] illustrator Beardsley pretty obsessed with
    the play ?

    It must be pretty naughty as I had a book.... the plays of
    Aristophanes and they cencored it out.

    also isnt a lot of the humour of the carry ons based on
    this work also Up Pompei ....

    i think I ve got it on my hard drive
    I ll have to put it into 'natural reader' and have a listen

    Aubrey Beardsley did some illustrations for Lysistrata. They are shocking, even by modern standards. No wonder the Victorians were so suspicious of his art. But then art has nothing to do with morality. Whatever makes good art is good.
