Synopsis

This book presents an in-depth analysis of the evolution of storytelling in early Roman literary culture, from its oral origins in the popular theatre to its expression in epic and historiography. The author evaluates the work of the major Latin writers of the period - Livius Andronicus, Naevius, Ennius, Plautus, Terence, Cato the Elder, and others - in the context of both Greek literature and the history of Rome itself, providing a comprehensive overview of the development of literary forms, genres, and conventions from the third to the first centuries BCE. This book is a valuable resource for students of early Roman literature and culture.
