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.

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.

Download or read book The Dramatic Values in Plautus Classic Reprint written by Wilton Wallace Blancke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dramatic Values in Plautus This investigation was prompted by the abiding conviction that Plautus as a dramatic artist has been from time immemorial misunderstood. In his progress through the ages he has been like a merry clown rollicking amongst people with a hearty invitation to laughter, and has been rewarded by commendation for his services to morality and condemnation for his buffoonery. The majority of Plautine critics have evinced too serious an atti tude of mind in dealing with a comic poet. However portentous and profound his scholarship, no one deficient in a sense of humor should venture to approach a comic p'oet in a Spirit of criticism. For criticism means appreciation. Furthermore, the various estimates of our poet's worth, have been as diversified as they have been in the main unfair. Alter mately lauded as a master dramatic craftsman and vilified as a scurrilous purveyor of unsavory humor, he has been buffeted from the top to the bottom of the dramatic scale. More recent writers have been approaching a saner evaluation. Of his true worth, but never, we believe, has his real position in that dramatic scale been definitely and finally fixed; because heretofore no attempt has been made at a complete analysis of his dramatic, particularly his comic, methods. It is the aim of the present dissertation to accomplish this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Deception in Plautus: A Study in the Technique of Roman Comedy From the time of Ritschl's critical work upon the comedies of Plautus (1848) to the present, one of the chief desires of students of Plautus has been to solve the problem of the Plautine and un-Plautine elements in the comedies. The existence of un-Plautine elements is quite evident from the clear traces of revision which the parallel versions in the manuscripts show. Very little comparative study of all the plays has been made, combining minute internal analysis of the plot of each play and a study of all its features, internal as well as external, with a comparison of similar features in the other plays; for as Langen pointed out, too often the conclusions as to Plautine technique have been drawn from the minute analysis of single plays, instead of from such comparative studies. It is because we feel that such a study can make a definite contribution to the solution of the problem of the Plautinity of the plays that we have undertaken it.

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.
