• The first comprehensive collection of essays on Terence in English, by leading scholars in the field
• Covers a range of topics, including both traditional and modern concerns of gender, race, and reception

• Includes an introduction discussing the life of Terence, its impact on subsequent studies of the poet, and the question of his ethnicity
"In this Volume, the editors have aimed to offer 'a wide-ranging guide to studying Terence's plays within the historical and social-political context in which they were produced'. Their goal has been realized- but neither fully nor without problems; and, although there is a wealth of information contextualizing the playright and his work, the notion that his plays were primarily comic strips designed for live performances should have been represented more strongly in the volume."
