About the book

Plautus, Rome's earliest extant poet, was acclaimed by ancient critics above all for his mastery of language and his felicitous jokes; and yet in modern times relatively little attention has been devoted to elucidating these elements fully. Here, Fontaine reassesses some of the premises and nature of Plautus' comedies.
