Terence (?184-159 BC) was the outstanding comic playwright of his
generation at Rome and one of the founding fathers of European
comic drama. His plays have been imitated by authors as diverse as
the nun Hrothswitha in the tenth century and P. G. Wodehouse in the
twentieth. They deal with the love-life of adolescent boys and with
associated tensions in their relations with their fathers. They
show love triumphing over obstacles of various kinds, and they also
portray the problems that arise from ignorance, misunderstanding,
and prejudice. They are true to universal elements of human
experience, and audiences today can readily engage with the issues
they raise. This new translation with introduction and explanatory
notes aims to convey the liveliness of the plays as pieces written
for the theater.
