Plautus was Ancient Rome's greatest comic playwright, Shakespeare
drew heavily on his plots, and his legacy is prevalent throughout
modern drama. In this expanded edition of his successful book, one
of America's foremost Classical scholars introduces performance
criticism to the study of Plautus' ancient drama. In addition to
the original detailed studies of six of the dramatists's plays, the
methodology of performance criticism, the use of conventions, and
the nature of comic heroism in Plautus, this edition includes new
studies on:
* the induction into the world of the play
* the scripted imitation of improvisation
* Plautus's comments on his previous work
* the nature of 'tragicomedy'.
