{"product_id":"plautus-keith-maclennan-9781910572382","title":"Plautus: Aulularia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Aulularia is a comedy by the early poet Plautus (about 200 BCE) who \u003cbr\u003etransformed plays of Greek New Comedy, especially Menander, into typical \u003cbr\u003eRoman plays. Great interest lies in the imaginative metre and the archaic \u003cbr\u003elanguage of Plautus' work, whose 20 plays are the oldest substantial surviving \u003cbr\u003edocuments in this language. This book focuses on the Aulularia, a brilliant piece \u003cbr\u003eof writing, containing comic scenes of great variety and one character (the old \u003cbr\u003eman Euclio), unmatched in surviving Latin drama for vivid presentation and \u003cbr\u003eeffective development. The play raises very interesting questions about the \u003cbr\u003erelation of Roman comedy to the Greek theatrical tradition which lies behind it \u003cbr\u003eand its unfinished state has provoked much discussion about how it could have \u003cbr\u003ebeen completed. The Aulularia has given inspiration to a host of works in later \u003cbr\u003eEuropean literature from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries, yet no new edition \u003cbr\u003eor commentary has been published in English since 1913. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith an introduction that will be of interest to students of literature and classics, \u003cbr\u003ethere is also a substantial chapter on the rich reception of the play in modern \u003cbr\u003eliterature as well as a chapter on the Greek original.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keith MacLennan, Walter Stockert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910572381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910572382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liverpool University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.56d","brand":"Keith MacLennan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46571121934591,"sku":"9781910572382","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ca2e27f-e6b0-425b-a633-3469ae62df19.jpg?v=1738807301","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/plautus-keith-maclennan-9781910572382","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
