PIERIDES IV, Series Editors: Sophia PapaioannouThis volume examines
interpretation as the original process of critical reception
vis-a-vis Terence's experimental comedies. The book, which consists
of two parts, looks at Terence as both an agent and a subject of
interpretation. The First Part ('Terence as Interpreter') examines
Terence as an interpreter of earlier literary traditions, both
Greek and Roman. The Second Part ('Interpretations of Terence')
identifies and explores different expressions of the critical
reception of Terence's output. The papers in both sections
illustrate the various expressions of originality and individual
creative genius that the process of interpretation entails. The
volume at hand is the first study to focus not only on the
interpreter, but also on the continuity and evolution of the
principles of interpretation. In this way, it directs the focus
from Terence's work to the meaning of Terence's work in relation to
his predecessors (the past literary tradition), his contemporaries
(his literary antagonists, but also his audience), and posterity
(his critical readers across the centuries).
