Abstract

"A Companion to Terence offers the first comprehensive collection of essays on Terence in English. It includes a detailed study of Terence's plays, situating them in their socio-historical context and exploring their reception from the Classical through late antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, to present day literature and performance. Each chapter discusses key issues in Terence, including Terence's relationship with his Greco-Roman models, his language and style, the question of performance and dramatic technique, and the socio-political background that shapes the themes, characters, structures, and cultural-political concerns. A Companion to Terence is a useful research tool for the growing number of scholars, students and critics of Terence and Roman comedy"--

Abstract

This book offers a comprehensive examination of the language of Roman comedy in general and that of Terence in particular. The study explores Terence's use of language to differentiate his characters and his language in relation to the language of the comic fragments of the palliata, the togata and the atellana. Linguistic categories in the Terentian corpus explored include colloquialisms, archaisms, hellenisms and idiolectal features. Terence is shown to give his old men an old-fashioned and verbose tone, while low characters are represented as using colloquial diction. An examination of Eunuchus' language shows it to be closer to the Plautine linguistic tradition. The book also provides a thorough linguistic/stylistic commentary on all the fragments of the palliata, the togata and the atellana. It shows that Terence, except in the case of his Eunuchus, consciously distances himself from the linguistic/stylistic tradition of Plautus followed by all other comic poets.

Abstract

Die Römische Tragödie der archaischen Epoche, der augusteischen Klassik und der frühen Kaiserzeit ist mit Ausnahme der Tragödien Senecas nur in zahlreichen Fragmenten erhalten. In über 30 Aufsätzen aus den Jahren 1972 bis 2014, von denen eine Reihe unpubliziert ist, zeigt der Verfasser, dass die politische Grundierung ein durchgehendes Charakteristikum der Römischen Tragödie ist. Die Sagen von den zahlreichen griechischen Helden, die seit Homers Zeit nach Italien kamen, lieferten dankbare Stoffe, um die römische Frühgeschichte aufzubessern. Diese aitiologischen Tendenzen verliehen der republikanischen und augusteischen Tragödie einen panegyrischen Grundzug. Es ist durch die politischen Verhältnisse der Kaiserzeit bedingt, dass die Panegyrik vielfach in Opposition umschlug. Weiterhin wird herausgestellt, dass aufgrund dieser Entwicklung Seneca aus stoischem Blickwinkel den Einzelnen in den Mittelpunkt rückte und einerseits seine Unfähigkeit zu einer disziplinierten Lebensweise, andererseits seine Fähigkeit, ein widriges Schicksal souverän zu meistern, zur Darstellung brachte. The collected papers in this volume, many of them previously unpublished, demonstrate the politcial character of Roman tragedy and show that, during the Imperial period, panegyrics often shifted to opposition.

Abstract

For many years the domain of specialists in early Latin, in complex metres, and in the reconstruction of texts, Roman comedy is now established in the mainstream of Classical literary criticism. Where most books stress the original performance as the primary location for the encountering of the plays, this book finds the locus of meaning and appreciation in the activity of a reader, albeit one whose manner of reading necessarily involves the imaginative reconstruction of performance. The texts are treated, and celebrated, as literary devices, with programmatic beginnings, middles, ends, and intertexts. All the extant plays of Plautus and Terence have at least a bit part in this book, which seeks to expose the authors' fabulous artificiality and artifice, while playing along with their differing but interrelated poses of generic humility.
