Item description from seller

pp. 1-10. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - Author's name underlined on first page, otherwise very good and clean. - From the text: The birth of New Comedy is accompanied by a simultaneous transformation of both physical and imaginative space in the Greek theatre. This transformation ratifies and gives presence to a number of internal transformations of comedy in the century between Aristophanes and Menander. The New Comedy which emerges is both physically and imaginatively detached from the city which gave it birth. This detachment in turn is the source of New Comedys remarkable endurance as a form: it becomes mobile, even universal, as it is carried throughout the Mediterranean world by the great Hellenistic acting companies, the Artists of Dionysos. In this form New Comedy impinges upon the Roman mind and theatrical tradition. Plays of the New Comedy repertoire are transformed by Plautus and others into Latin versions conceived for a new physical space. In the hands of Plautus a new dimension of imaginative space comes to the fore as well, but Terence and other Roman writers return to Greek conceptions of space.
