Terence: Andria (Paperback)

Launching a much-needed new series discussing each comedy that
survives from the ancient world, this volume is a vital companion
to Terence's earliest comedy, Andria, highlighting its context,
themes, staging and legacy. Ideal for students it assumes no
knowledge of Latin, but is helpful also for scholars wanting a
quick introduction. This will be the first port of call for anyone
studying or researching the play. Though Andria launched Terence's
career as a dramatist at Rome, it has attracted comparatively
little attention from modern critics. It is nevertheless a play of
great interest, not least for the sensitivity with which it
portrays family relationships and for its influence on later
dramatists. It also presents students of Roman comedy with all the
features that came to characterize Terence's particular version of
traditional comedy, and it raises all the interpretive questions
that have dogged the study of Terence for generations. This volume
will use a close reading of the play to explore the central issues
in understanding Terence's style of play-making and its legacy.
