Yet apart from the surviving plays of Plautus and Terence the sources are fragmentary and difficult to interpret and contextualise. This book provides a comprehensive history of all aspects of the topic, incorporating recent findings and modern approaches. It discusses the origins of Roman drama and the historical, social and institutional backgrounds of all the dramatic genres to be found during the Republic (tragedy, praetexta, comedy, togata, Atellana, mime and pantomime). Possible general characteristics are identified, and attention is paid to the nature of and developments in the various genres. The clear structure and full bibliography also ensure that the book has value as a source of reference for all upper-level students and scholars of Latin literature and ancient drama. 606 $aLatin drama$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheater$zRome 606 $aTheater$xHistory$yTo 500 606 $aLiterature and history$zRome 607 $aRome$xHistory$yRepublic, 510-30 B.C 607 $aRome$xHistoriography 607 $aRome$xIn literature 615 0$aLatin drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheater 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and history 676 $a872/.0109 700 $aManuwald$b Gesine$0326443 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461354903321 996 $aRoman republican theatre$9251686 997 $aUNINA
