Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plautus and Terence Comedy from the plays of Aristophanes. It so happens that he stands before us moderns as the sole surviving representative, in anything like discernible shape, of the comic drama at Athens. But his brilliant bur lesques, with their keen political satire, their wealth of allusion, their mad extravagance of Wit pushed even to bufi'oonery, have not much more in common with the plays of Plautus and Terence than with our modern parlour comedy as we have it from Mr Robertson or Mr Byron.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Andria and Adelphoe of Terence: With Notes The more ancient mss. Of Terence, except one, bear the subscription of Calliopius, and are none of them earlier than the ninth century. That one, now in the Vatican Library, by far the oldest and best, though the first 785 lines 'of the Andria are lost, belongs to the fifth century, was once in the possession of the Cardinal Pietro Bembo of Venice, and is called the Bembine. Of a col lation of this ms. By Petrus Victorius, now in the Royal Library at Munich, Fleckeisen availed himself in the preparation of his text published in the Teubner series of classics in 1857; and this text is adopted in the present edition of the Andria and Adelphos. With it, however, has been carefully compared the edition of Francis Umpfenbach, Berlin, 1870, which contains exact colla tions of all the important mss., and furnishes the most complete critical apparatus which has yet appeared. The more important various readings are mentioned in the Notes, and in a very few instances only a different reading has been preferred to that of Fleckeisen. The comedies of Terence, in comparison with those of Plautus, stand in very little need of expurgation; and.

Download or read book Roman Comedy written by David Konstan and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the social institutions, the prevailing social values, and the ideology of the ancient city-state as revealed in Roman Comedy. "The very essence of comedy is social," writes David Konstan, "and in the complex movement of its plots we may be able to discern the lineaments and contradictions of the reigning ideas of an age." David Konstan looks closely at eight plays: Plautus's Aulularia, Asinaria, Captivi, Rudens, Cistellaria, and Truculentus, and Terence's Phormio and Hecyra. Offering new interpretations of each, he develops a "typology of plot forms" by analyzing structural features and patterns of conventional behavior in the plays, and he relates the results of his literary analysis to contemporary social conditions. He argues that the plays address tensions that were potentially disruptive to the ancient city-state, and that they tended to resolve these tensions in ways that affirmed traditional values. Roman Comedy is an innovative and challenging book that will be welcomed by students of classical literature, ancient social history, the history of the theater, and comedy as a genre.
Download or read book Shakespeare and Classical Comedy written by Robert S. Miola and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1994 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys Shakespeare's comedies, charting the influence upon them of the ancient playwrights, Plautus and Terence. Robert S. Miola analyses these sources, and places the comedies in their Renaissance context, as well as in the larger context of European theatre. Discovering new indebtedness, and discerning new patterns in previously attested borrowings, Shakespeare and Classical Comedy presents an integrated and comprehensive assessment of the complex interactions of the Classical, Shakespearean, and other Renaissance theatres. Robert S. Miola re-evaluates Plautus and Terence in the light of their Greek antecedents, and gives special attention to Renaissance translations and commentaries, Italian theorists, and playwrights, as well as contemporary dramatists such as Middleton, Jonson, Heywood, and Chapman. Four broad categories organize the discussion - New Comedic errors, intrigue, alazoneia (pretension), and romance - and each is illustrated by illuminating readings of individual Shakespearean plays. The author keeps in view Shakespeare's eclecticism, his habit of combining disparate sources and traditions, as well as the rich history of literary criticism and theatrical interpretation. The book concludes by discussing the presence of New Comedy in tragedy, in Hamlet and King Lear. Robert S. Miola's thoroughly researched book ranges over a vast amount of European drama, from Aristophanes to Beckett and Ionesco. It makes an important contribution to our understanding not only of Shakespeare and his foremost antecedents, but also of Renaissance theatre, and its complex adaptations of ancient texts and traditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plautus Greetings, ye worthiest Of spectators, who hold good faith in the highest honour, and, Good Faith, you. If I have told the truth, give me a clear sign Of it, so that I may know from the very outset that you are fair-minded toward me. (waits hopefully for applause) Those be wise men, in my opinion, who take Old wine and those who love to see Old plays. Yes, liking as you do the works and words Of ancient days, you should like Old plays better than all others; for, really, the new comedies that are produced nowadays are much more worthless than our new coins. We actors, having learned from popular rumour that it is the plays Of Plautus you keenly desire, present an ancient comedy Of his which has already been approved by you Older men. TO the younger, I am sure, it is unfamiliar; but it shall be our earnest endeavour to make them familiar with it. This play, when it was first presented, surpassed all others. In that era lived the garland Of poets who have now departed to the common bourne. Yet absent though they be, they profit us as though present. Now let me earnestly entreat you all to accord our company your kind attention. Away with care and thought of debts; let no man dread a dun!
