Aemilius Paullus and the Adelphoe; Bibliography; Index Locorum; Index Nominum et RerumThis is an original study of the plays of the two great Roman comic playwrights Plautus and Terence in the context of political and economic change in Rome in the third and second centuries BC. In contrast to the dominant trend of viewing the plays by reference to their largely lost Greek originals, the book adopts a historicist approach that concentrates on their effect on a contemporary audience. Matthew Leigh combines a close reading of individual texts with a theoretically. sophisticated approach to Roman self-construction. - ;Comedy and the Rise of Rome invites the reader to consider RomaLatin drama (Comedy)History and criticismHistory, Ancient, in literatureLiterature and historyRomeRomeHistoriographyLatin drama (Comedy)History and criticism.History, Ancient, in literature.Literature and history872.01Leigh Matthew258547MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996203971903316Comedy and the rise of Rome728395UNISA
