Terence : Eunuchus, 1999, 344 p., br. -

Terence's Eunuchus (The Eunuch) was his most successful play in his lifetime but has been suprisingly neglected by moderns commentators. In this first full-scale commentary in English, the author provides a thourough examination of the play in terms of its literary and dramatic qualities, its staging, and its relationship to the 2 plays of Menander's on which it is based. The commentary includes scene-by-scene discussions which bring out the development of character and plot, and the notes offer a close study of Terence's language in comparison with that of his predecessor Plautus. A full introduction puts Terence in his historical and literary context.
