Description
This 1993 edition of Menaechmi by Titus Maccius Plautus is a lively and entertaining comedy that has inspired many writers, including Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors. Dr Gratwick's edition brings new insights to the play's interpretation and Plautus' place in European comedy.
The text features newly constituted pages based on a complete reappraisal of the manuscript tradition, offering practical assistance for students grappling with technical problems involved in performance and stage production. The various metres exploited by Plautus are explained in a way that challenges received views while providing useful information for readers.
