- Used Book in Good Condition
The rollicking comedies of Plautus, who brilliantly adapted Greek plays for Roman audiences c. 205â€“184 BCE, are the earliest Latin works to survive complete and are cornerstones of the European theatrical tradition from Shakespeare and MoliÃ¨re to modern times. This first volume of a new Loeb edition of all 21 of Plautusâ€™s extant comedies presents Amphitruo, Asinaria, Aulularia, Bacchides, and Captivi with freshly edited texts, lively modern translations, and ample explanatory notes. Accompanying the plays is a detailed introduction to Plautusâ€™s Å“uvre as a whole, discussing his techniques of translation and adaptation, his use of Roman humor, stage conventions, language and meter, and his impact on the Greco-Roman comedic theater and beyond.
