Inhoudsopgave:

\u003cp\u003eThis volume, intended for third- and fourth-year college and advanced high-school use, presents a selection of annotated passages in Latin from six plays by Terence: \u003ci\u003eAndria, Heauton, Phormio, Hecyra, Eunuchus,\u003c/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAdelphoe\u003c/i\u003e. The introduction discusses Terence's enrichment of the comic genre he inherited from the Greeks and the hallmarks of his second-century BC Latin and its grammar.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTerence's plays are not merely showcases for his superb Republican Latin style. They represent an obvious post-Plautine shift in the comedy Rome inherited from Greece. There is a new respect for the real human situations behind well-rehearsed comic plots, and questions prod the cultural norms that are depicted on stage.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLatin selections in this edition include sizeable passages from the beginnings, middles, and ends of all six of Terence's plays, giving the experience of the general structure of his comedy. Notes illuminate Terence's ingenuity in complicating plots, shifting sympathies, and manipulating character types. This Reader offers a memorable sample of Terence's comic art, a unique presence in Latin literature.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecial Features\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIntroduction that discusses Terence’s enrichment of the comic genre and the hallmarks of his Latin\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e566 lines of Latin text from Terence’s \u003ci\u003eAndria\u003c/i\u003e, 28–139; \u003ci\u003eHeauton\u003c/i\u003e, 175–256; \u003ci\u003ePhormio\u003c/i\u003e, 1–12, 884–989; \u003ci\u003eHecyra\u003c/i\u003e, 198–280; \u003ci\u003eEunuchus\u003c/i\u003e, 539–614; \u003ci\u003eAdelphoe\u003c/i\u003e, 1–25, 787–881\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes at the back\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix on Comic Meters in Terence\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete Vocabulary\u003c/ul\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/p\u003e
