Mostellaria By Plautus

'It is refreshing to find Plautus examined for what he undeniably was--a theatrical phenomenon.' --Classical World. 'We certainly need in English a book devoted to Plautus alone and here we have it.' 'Many readers will do as I have done: read Roman Laughter with enjoyment and profit.' --Classical Philology. 'Of all the Greek and Roman playwrights,' Erich Segal writes, 'Titus Maccius Plautus is the least admired and the most imitated.'
