Synopsis
Excerpt from The Captivi of Plautus: Edited With Introduction, Apparatus Criticus and Commentary
The introductory pages deal mainly with Prosody and Metre, the two subjects on which information seems most required by English Students of Plautus. I hope in time to edit other plays of this author and to take up one by one the remaining topics of interest, such as Plautine Accidence and Syntax, and the history of the Plautine d104 in antiquity.
