  • Der Monolog bei Terenz. Keller, Zürich, 1968. IX,173p. Sewn. Pencil annotations from WGA. Review from R.H. Martin as well as personal summary from WGA loosely inserted. Diss. Universität Zürich. (Rare).'Denzler's declaired aim is to evaluate Terence's 'Eigenart und Selbständigkeit' in the use and composition of his character's monologues. the statistical substrate here is excellent; the various monologues are carefully categorized by their structural functions. (...) The first half of the book contains detailed analyses of many key Terentian monologues, classified under interesting headings; and the comparison of monologues parallel in one of these ways but hitherto considered in isolation can often be very revealing. (...) The second half of Denzler's book attempts to build on the results of his analyses of individual monologues. But Denzler goes too far beyond the evidence when he suggests that Terence time and time again remodelled scenes from his originals by turning other sorts of monologue into overheard ones.' (W. GEOFFREY ARNOTT in The Classical Review (New Series), 1970, p.186). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 59.50 (Antiquarian)
