As the first play of the Terentian corpus, Andria has always
attracted a special level of attention. It was the first Roman
comedy produced after antiquity (at Florence in 1476) and the first
translated into English, and it has inspired writers from Jonson
and Dryden to Thornton Wilder. It provides an excellent
introduction to Terence 's particular style of comedy, noteworthy
for its ambivalence in representing the perspectives of woman and
slaves and its experiments with a secondary plot line. The
commentary is designed both to help students with the basic
linguistic and technical problems confronting inexperienced readers
of Roman comedy and to open discussion of essential interpretive
questions involving the play and its relation to the wider comic
corpus, as well as the utility of comedy for furthering our
understanding of the Roman world and its values.
