{"product_id":"plautus-curculio-17-john-wright-9780806125077","title":"Plautus' Curculio: Volume 17","description":"Plautus' \u003ci\u003eCurculio\u003c\/i\u003e, the shortest of the twenty surviving comedies by ancient Rome's master dramatist, certainly is among his best. It has all the characteristics that make Plautus a perennial favorite among readers of Latin: archetypal characters such as the braggart warrior and the greedy parasite, a seminal plot based on greed and deception, and the powerful, inventive verbal style that for two thousand years has been the playwright's chief claim to critical attention. \u003cp\u003e For all those reasons, the \u003ci\u003eCurculio\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent introduction to an important and appealing ancient writer. In the revision of the American Philological Association edition, the introduction and notes have been expanded and a vocabulary has been added. Because it retains the standard scholarly Latin text, it will be useful even to advanced readers of Plautus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Wright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806125071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806125077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.02w x 0.46d","brand":"John Wright","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947230527743,"sku":"9780806125077","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_87182770-a7e1-432c-962a-013602e91063.jpg?v=1681517496","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/plautus-curculio-17-john-wright-9780806125077","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
