Download or read book The Theater of Plautus written by Timothy J. Moore and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between actors and spectators has been of perennial interest to playwrights. The Roman playwright Plautus (ca. 200 BCE) was particularly adept at manipulating this relationship. Plautus allowed his actors to acknowledge freely the illusion in which they were taking part, to elicit laughter through humorous asides and monologues, and simultaneously to flatter and tease the spectators. These metatheatrical techniques are the focus of Timothy J. Moore's innovative study of the comedies of Plautus. The first part of the book examines Plautus' techniques in detail, while the second part explores how he used them in the plays Pseudolus, Amphitruo, Curculio, Truculentus, Casina, and Captivi. Moore shows that Plautus employed these dramatic devices not only to entertain his audience but also to satirize aspects of Roman society, such as shady business practices and extravagant spending on prostitutes, and to challenge his spectators' preconceptions about such issues as marriage and slavery. These findings forge new links between Roman comedy and the social and historical context of its performance.

Download or read book Plautus Erudite Comedy written by Sophia Papaioannou and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-02 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexandrianism was among the trends that defined the formation of Roman literature across genres since the early decades of Roman literary history. This volume introduces a collection of original essays that contribute to a developing appreciation of the comedy of Plautus, the leading representative of Roman comedy, as a multi-faceted text that engages in a creative dialogue with various contemporary cultural and literary developments. The studies here, both individually and as parts of a longer, interactive discussion, offer a comprehensive examination of the first complete expression of the intellectual reception of Greek and Hellenistic literature and culture in Rome, and, at the same time, examine Plautus’ correspondence with the popularization of science and medicine, the Romanization of philosophy, and contemporary religious practices. As the first Latin poet whose work survives in extant form, Plautus is also examined here as a major literary figure who significantly influenced the development of Latin literature. This book will appeal to specialist scholars of Roman comedy, but also to graduate students working in the fields of classics and literary history. All long quotations of Greek and Latin are translated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Etiquette, the field of multifarious prescriptions governing comportment in life's interactions, has generally been neglected by philosophers, who may be inclined to dismiss it as trivial, most specifically in contrast to ethics. Philosophy tends to grant absolute privilege to ethics over etiquette, placing the former alongside all of the traditional values favored by metaphysics (order, truth, rationality, mind, masculinity, depth, reality), while consigning the latter to metaphysics' familiar, divisive list of hazards and rejects (arbitrariness, mere opinion, irrationality, the body, femininity, surface, appearance). Addressing a broad range of subjects, from sexuality, clothes, and cell phones to hip-hop culture, bodybuilding, and imperialism, the contributors to Etiquette challenge these traditional values—not in order to favor etiquette over ethics, but to explore the various ways in which practice subtends theory, in which manners are morals, and in which ethics, the practice of living a good life, has always depended upon the graceful relations for which etiquette provides the armature.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ...not sacrificed nor affected by the combination of several tricks. It is merely the lack of motive for the twin-sister trick, since its carefully executed plans go for nothing, that justifies here an assumption of con-taminatio in the composition of the play.09 The connecting-links between the two parts, as for example the way in which the twin-sister trick and the secret passage are dragged into the second part of the play, are not skilfully enough welded together to conceal the joining and to effect unity in the play. No ambiguity, however, results from this passing from one deception to the other; and the motive for it seems to have been the playwright's desire0 to include in the play as much of the comic element as possible, i. e. as much trickery as possible, since the plan-r ning and execution of trickery afford he chief V comic element in the plays of Plautus. That fact also, as we have assumed before, probably causes the disregard of time, noted here in the three-years' stay, v.35O, compared with the short time required for the incidents mentioned in vv.121-124,81 or the disregard of versimilitude in Periplecomenus' orders shouted to his slaves from the street; or the contradiction between Sceledrus' appearance in v.816 and his determination in v.586 to run away. In fact we would agree with Lorenz82 that it is in cases like these that Plautus shows his carelessness towards the requirements of dramatic action, as we consider them, and his disregard of minor and unessential details. 5i Leo: Plaut.

A study of the technique of the plot of deception, the methods employed in carrying it out, and the interrelation of the plans laid for the trickery and the execution of those plans, naturally involves a study of the Greek originals of Plautus.
