Of all the poets Francis Meres names in his famous Palladis Tamia,
Wits Treasury (1598), just two rate a mention as being both 'our
best for tragedy' and 'the best poets for comedy': William
Shakespeare and George Chapman. All Fools, written in 1599, is the
only Elizabethan comedy based directly on the plays of Terence. By
taking episodes and characters from two brilliant works, The
Self-Tormenter and The Brothers, Chapman creates something that is
distinctly Elizabethan while remaining faithful to the spirit of
the great Roman master. In this edition, an extensive introduction
and commentary show how Chapman combines the literary and
theatrical traditions of ancient Rome with everyday life in his own
time to fashion a sparkling and innovative comedy that will delight
audiences today as much as it did those of 1599. -- .
