Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. ; 0.75 x 9 x 6 Inches; 184 pages; Explores the social institutions, the prevailing social values, and the ideology of the ancient city-state as revealed in Roman comedy. Looks closely at eight plays: Plautus's Aulularia, Asinaria, Captivi, Rudens, Cistellaria, and Truculentus, and Terence's Phormio and Hecyra.
Minor shelfwear. Scholars' name to ffep (Mark Golden) with additional name. Former owner's name neatly written to top, foreedge and bottom of textblock. Pages a little tanned and browned. ; In Roman Laughter, the first book-length study of Plautus, Segal argues that this neglected writer, often denounced by scholars for such crimes as "barbarous clownery," merits our serious attention precisely because he was the most successful poet of the ancient world. He analyzes the reasons behind this success, placing the author in his social and historical context and observing that Plautus's wildly comedic flouting of Roman law and custom had a cathartic effect upon a people bound by rule in every aspect of their lives. This expanded edition contains a new preface that reconsiders the work of Plautus in light of recent scholarship and also contains essays on the Amphitryon and the Captivi. ; Harper Torchbooks; 316 pages

Scholars' bookplate to inner cover. Very light bumping to corners. DJ has light creasing and shelf wear. ; What pleasures did Plautus' heroic tricksters provide their original audience? How should we understand the compelling mix of rebellion and social conservatism that Plautus offers? Through a close reading of four plays representing the full range of his work (Menaechmi, Casina, Persa, and Captivi) , Kathleen McCarthy develops an innovative model of Plautine comedy and its social effects. She concentrates on how the plays are shaped by the interaction of two comic modes: the socially conservative mode of naturalism and the potentially subversive mode of farce. It is precisely this balance of the naturalistic and the farcical that allows everyone in the audience--especially those well placed in the social hierarchy--to identify both with and against the rebel, to feel both the thrill of being a clever underdog and the complacency of being a securely ensconced authority figure. ; 240 pages

Very light bump to top edges of boards. Very minor shelfwear. ; Die Cistellaria ist von der Plautus-Philologie lange vernachlässigt worden. Dieser Befund mag einerseits auf ihren stark lückenhaften Erhaltungszustand zurückzuführen sein; man wähnte sie auch als 'menandrischstes' der plautinischen Stücke, so daß die Vermutung, das 'Plautinische im Plautus' lasse sich an dieser Komödie nicht so deutlich wie an anderen zeigen, zu diesem geringen Interesse beigetragen hat. Dieser Sammelband zur lange vernachlässigten, aber geistvollen Cistellaria präsentiert 30 Beiträge von Gelehrten aus 10 Ländern, die das Stück mit vielfältigen Fragestellungen aus den Bereichen Analyse, Interpretation, Gender, Datierung, Metrik, Textkritik und Rezeption erschließen. Durch den Blick auf andere plautinische Komödien trägt der Band auch zu einer Erweiterung der Perspektive auf das Gesamtwerk des römischen Dichters bei. ; Scriptoralia 128.; 491 pages
