PLAUTUS, T. MACCI,
Rudens. Edited by H.C. Fay.
University Tutorial Press, London, 1969. VIII,221p. Cloth. Nice copy.
This book 'is a labour of especial love, of course, and the editor never forgets that this is a comedy intended to give pleasure. The notes have just the right touch, accurate and scholarly, but light in tone; the introduction encourages us to act Plautus, the notes to appreciate him. The introduction covers Plautus' career, Ancient Drama as a literary type and on the stage, Plautine metres and scansion, the background of life, Plautine Latin, and a note on the manuscripts. (...) There is an index of proper names, a reading list, and a vocabulary.' (ROBERT GLIN in The Classical Review (New Series), 1972, p.98). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott.
