Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dramatic Values in Plautus This dissertation was written in 1916, before the entrance of the United States into The War, and was presented to the Faculty of the University of Pennsylvania as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Its publication at this time needs no apology, for it will find its only public in the circumscribed circle of professional scholars. They at least will understand that scholarship knows no nationality. But in the fear that this may fall under the eye of that larger public, whose interests are, properly enough, not scholastic, a word of explanation may prove a safeguard. The Germans have long been recognized as the hewers of wood and drawers of water of the intellectual world. For the results of the drudgery of minute research and laborious compilation, the scholar must perforce seek German sources. The copious citation of German authorities in this work is, then, the outcome of that necessity. I have, however, given due credit to German criticism, when it is sound. The French are, generically, vastly superior in the art of finely balanced critical estimation. My sincere thanks are due in particular to the Harrison Foundation of the University for the many advantages I have received therefrom, to Professors John C. Rolfe and Walton B. McDaniel, who have been both teachers and friends to me, and to my good comrades and colleagues, Francis H. Lee and Horace T. Boileau, for their aid in editing this essay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Original Element in Plautus I wish, said the teacher to the student, that you were working at an artist, and not at a hack like Plautus. The student, puzzled and discouraged, consulted other authorities as to the precise meaning of hack, and found that it meant a literary drudge, who is much overworked, and therefore a person habitually tired. Now, whatever other failings may be ascribed to Plautus, he certainly never shows signs of being tired; and although he is often casually set down as being nothing better than a mechanical translator from Greek into Latin, yet a perusal of his plays suggests that many of them are the work neither of a hack nor of a single artist, but of several artists, of whom Plautus was indubitably one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Comedies of Plautus Charmides, a wealthy Athenian, his property having been much diminished by the reckless conduct of his son, goes abroad. His dissolute son, Lesbonicus, being left behind at Athens, consumes the little resources left him, and then puts up his father's house for sale. At his departure, Charmides has entrusted his interests and the care of his son and daughter to his friend Callicles, and has also informed him that in his house there is a treasure buried as a reserve against future contingencies. In order that this may not be lost, Callicles buys the house of Lesbonicus for a small sum. Ignorant of his reason for doing so, his fellow-citizens censure him for his conduct, and accuse him of a breach of good faith in ministering to the extravagance of Lesbonicus by supplying him with money. For this reason Megaronides expostulates with his friend Callicles, and greatly censures him; on which, Callicles, in self-defence, entrusts him with the secret of the treasure. Charmides having left behind him a grown-up daughter in the care of Callicles, Lysiteles, a young man of rank and character, falls in love with her, and through his father, Philto, asks her in marriage. Her brother, Lesbonicus, is not averse to the match, but refuses to let her marry without giving her a portion; and he offers her to Lysiteles, on condition that he will receive as her marriage-portion a piece of land near the city, the sole remnant of his fortune. This, however, Lysiteles refuses to accept. In the meantime, Callicles, at the suggestion of Megaronides, determines to give the young woman a dowry out of the treasure buried in the house which he has bought; but that Lesbonicus may not suspect whence the money really comes, a Sharper is hired, with instructions to pretend that he brings letters from Charmides with a thousand gold pieces as a portion for his daughter when she should marry. It happens, that while the Sharper is on his way with his pretended errand to the abode of Callicles, Charmides, having unexpectedly returned to Athens, is going towards his house. He meets the Sharper, who discloses his errand and attempts to impose upon Charmides, who thereupon discovers himself. Charmides then meets his servant Stasimus, who tells him of the purchase of his house by Callicles, whereon he conceives himself to have been betrayed by his friend. Afterwards, on discovering the truth, he praises the fidelity of Callicles, and bestows his daughter on Lysiteles, with a portion of a thousand gold pieces, and, at the intercession of Lysiteles, he forgives his son Lesbonicus, and informs him that he is to be married to the daughter of Callicles.

Download or read book The Rudens of Plautus Classic Reprint written by Cleveland K. Chase and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-27 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rudens of Plautus In one respect the play is of especial interest: name ly, in the illustration it contains of the native Italian dramatic farce. The banter between Labrax and Charmides, in the second act, is an excellent example of what must have been a salient feature of this early development in the field of comedy. It would be hard to find a better illustration of action visible to those on the stage but not to the audience than the scene con taining the dramatic description of the shipwreck by the slave Sceparnio, at the opening of the first act. The setting of the Rudens also, with its atmosphere of sea and fisher-folk and simple rustic piety, is much more picturesque than that of the average Plautine play.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient: Editions of Plautus Editors suppose this couplet to be a mere fragment, the rest having been lost. I do not see why it should not be the whole prologue. The opening scene, one of the cleverest and liveliest in Plautus, explains the whole situa tion clearly enough, and Plautus probably never wrote a prologue for the play. The Revival' stage-manager would wish to announce -to his audience as briefly as possible that an old favourite was being te-staged. The expression 'plautina longa fabula' is noticeable in view of the frequent curtailment of scenes in the Revival' text.
