Excerpt from Review of Riley's Translation the Comedies of Plautus

We must pause for a moment to notice the edition of Weise, Qued linburg and Leipsic, 1838, in two octavo volumes. This is utterly without worth, and undeserving of mention among the editions of Plautus. But Mr. Riley has made it the basis of his second volume, with the exception of the Amphitruo and Rudens. We may con gratulate ourselves that he has done so; for what has passed through the hands of both Weise and Riley is so corrupt that it saves us from all consideration of it.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This 1852 English language translation of Marcus Accius Plautus' twenty complete plays provides a window into Roman comic theatre. Before the 19th century, these plays were not widely accessible in English, and this book was pivotal in making them available to a wider audience. With a particular focus on philological method, the author presents each play alongside critical apparatus and scholarly commentary. These annotations illuminate the plays' complexities, their historical context, and their significance in the development of Roman theatre. The author's in-depth analysis of metre, syntax, and prosody offers a comprehensive resource for scholars and students of Latin literature. This translation and its accompanying commentary continue to be valuable resources for understanding Plautus' work and the broader landscape of Roman comedy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282798765_0
