Plautus and the English Renaissance of Comedy

Beschreibung

This book shows the impact of the 1428 rediscovery of Plautus’s plays on the theory and composition of comedy, and sets Plautus’s reception apart from that of the quite different dramatist Terence. The latter half takes up the Plautine traits that appear in the practice of English comic dramatists ca. 1500–1640.
