Terence's plays are not merely showcases for his superb Republican Latin style. They represent an obvious post-Plautine shift in the comedy Rome inherited from Greece. There is a new respect for the real human situations behind well-rehearsed comic plots, and questions prod the cultural norms that are depicted on stage.
Latin selections in this edition include sizeable passages from the beginnings, middles, and ends of all six of Terence's plays, giving the experience of the general structure of his comedy. Notes illuminate Terence's ingenuity in complicating plots, shifting sympathies, and manipulating character types. This Reader offers a memorable sample of Terence's comic art, a unique presence in Latin literature.
