Plautus is recognized as one of, if not the, greatest Roman play writes. He radically changed the genre of comedy, expanding upon the Greek conventions. He is most famous for his clever slave character, especially Pseudolus. This play is filled with comedy, driven by the genius of Pseudolus, one of the most witty, brilliant, and well educated tricksters in the genre. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de uitgeversreeks(en)
Pseudolus of all Plautus' comedies most fully reveals its author's metapoetics. As its eponymous clever slave telegraphs his every move to spectators, Pseudolus highlights the aesthetic, social, and performative priorities of Plautine comedy: brilliant linguistic play, creative appropriation of comic tradition, interrogation of convention and social norms, the projection of an air of improvisation and a fresh comic universe, and exploration of dramatic mimesis itself. The extensive Introduction analyses Plautus' delightful comedy as a stage-performance, the comic playwright's translation and adaptation practices, his innovative deployment of language and metrical and musical virtuosity, as well as the play's transmission and reception. In addition to detailed elucidation of the Latin text, the Commentary examines Pseudolus as a lens into Roman slave society at the time of its debut at the Megalensian festival of 191 BCE. The edition engages throughout with current criticism and issues of interest to both students and scholars. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
