Terence's Eunuchus (The Eunuch) was his most successful play in his
lifetime but has been surprisingly neglected by modern
commentators. In this first ever full-scale commentary in English,
Professor Barsby provides a thorough examination of the play in
terms of its literary and dramatic qualities, its staging, and its
relationship to the two plays of Menander's on which it is based.
The commentary includes scene-by-scene discussions which bring out
the development of character and plot, and the notes offer a close
study of Terence's language in comparison with that of his
predecessor Plautus. A full introduction puts Terence in his
historical and literary context, and there are two appendices, one
on metre and the other giving text and translation of the remains
of Menander's Eunouchos and Kolax.
