From the cover: TERENCE (c.184-159 BC) was the outstanding comic playwright of his generation at Rome and one of the founding fathers of European comic drama. All six of his plays survive. This new translation with introduction and explanatory notes aims to be both accurate and idiomatic, and to convey the liveliness of the plays as pieces written for the theatre. Terence's plays were acknowledged as classics soon after his early death, admired above all for their style but also for their insights into human nature, and they have been imitated by authors as diverse as the nun Hrothswitha in the tenth century and P.
