Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Introduction to Studies in Roman Comedy: The Interpretation of Roman Comedy
By way of introduction to various studies of technique in Roman comedy I find it convenient to state brie?y, with some illustrative examples, the dominant tendencies, as I see them, in the higher criticism of Plautus and Terence, to suggest the weakness of modern method, and to indicate the possibility of a different point of view and of safer courses of procedure. In such an introduction suggestion rather than demonstration, exposition rather than extended argu ment, are the limited aims of the paper; and I hope that the brevity desirable in prolegomena will not be mistaken for dogmatic assertion.
