Excerpt from The Pseudolus of Plautus: With Introduction and Notes The variations of this text from the standard edition of Goetz (leipzig, 1887) are in the following lines: 6, 16, 65, 142, 151 ff. Order, 151, 153, 156, 159, 166, 180, 191, and change of speakers through the rest of the scene, 217 punctu ation, 241, 255 f., 262 if, 268, lacuna after 295, 325, 452 order, 497, 499, lacuna marked after 545, 696, 697, 699, 710, 782 punctuation, 792, 814 order, 908, 1044, 1073, 1204 iii, 1263. The notes mention these changes and explain the more important of them. There are also a few changes in spelling, but in the main the text follows Goetz. In the arrangement of the Introduction, also, I have been greatly helped by notes of lectures by Professor Goetz upon the Bacchides, and I desire to use this opportunity to express to him not only my part of the respect which all scholars feel for his admirable work on the text of Plautus, but also my per sonal regard and gratitude for his most hospitable kindness to me.

Excerpt from Plautus, Vol. 4 of 5: The Little Carthaginian, Pseudolus, The Rope The date, however, of the Roman presentation of the Pseudolus is definitely established by the didascalia as 191 D.C. Geographical and military allusions in the play make the year 309 or 308 a probable time for the production of its Greek original. But whether the Greek play was written by Menander, Philemon, or someone else is doubtful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Plautus was Ancient Rome's greatest comic playwright, Shakespeare drew heavily on his plots, and his legacy is prevalent throughout modern drama. In this expanded edition of his successful book, one of America's foremost Classical scholars introduces performance criticism to the study of Plautus' ancient drama. In addition to the original detailed studies of six of the dramatists's plays, the methodology of performance criticism, the use of conventions, and the nature of comic heroism in Plautus, this edition includes new studies on: * the induction into the world of the play * the scripted imitation of improvisation * Plautus's comments on his previous work * the nature of 'tragicomedy'.
