Roman Laughter cover

'We certainly need in English a book devoted to Plautus alone and here we have it.' Phoenix This reissue of virtually the only book in English devoted to the work of the Roman comedy writer Plautus (c. 254-184 BC) includes a new preface and additional appendices covering the plays Amphitryon and Captivi.

An excellent, broad-ranging introduction to a playwright more complex than is usually supposed...provides cultural as well as literary insights. * J.P. Sullivan, University of California, Santa Barbara *
