"The Mirror of Taste, and Dramatic Censor, Vol. I, No. 5, May 1810" by Carpenter is a literary publication likely produced in the early 19th century. This edition provides a historical examination of the Greek Drama, particularly focusing on the works and significance of the playwright Menander. Through its investigation of dramatic criticism, readers can expect a sophisticated discourse on theater, poetic style, and cultural commentary prevalent during this period. The opening of this edition delves into the conclusion of the Greek Drama, particularly highlighting the contributions of Menander as a transformative figure who elevated the quality of comedic writing beyond the coarse works of his predecessors. The text discusses Menander's refined approach to comedy, contrasting his works with those of Aristophanes and his contemporaries while lamenting the loss of his substantial body of work. The writer also touches upon the historical context surrounding Menander's life, the disparity between his acclaim abroad and the indifference he received from the Athenian public, and his enduring impact on later dramatists, illustrating the profound and often overlooked significance of his art in the narrative of theatrical evolution.
