[PU: London: Duckworth], 220 p., w/ tables and pictures. Original brochure. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). Tiny red crayon mark on back cover of the half-title. Otherwise in perfect condition. - Content: The study of Roman drama has been largely confined to the completely surviving works of Plautus, Terence and Seneca. Interesting and important as these are, the understanding and appreciation of Roman drama and its development over the centuries of its existence will increase when these plays are seen in context. Facilitating this and returning Roman drama as a whole to a wider audience is the purpose of this anthology. It provides a basic introduction to the essentials of Roman drama as well as a selection of representative dramatic texts, including extracts from tragedy (crepidata), comedy (palliata), praetexta, togata and mime from both the Republican and imperial periods. Additionally, there is a selection of key testimonia to the background of Roman theatre with particular reference to the Republican period, since in the absence of complete texts for some dramatic genres and of other contemporary evidence, these testimonia acquire great significance, but are all too often neglected or inaccessible. A final (very selective) section on the reception of Roman drama by poets in England, from ‘the first English comedy’ to the twentieth century, allows glimpses into how Roman drama continues to influence the European dramatic tradition. All texts are provided in the original language and in English translation; technical discussions are omitted. Therefore the book should be particularly useful for students and teachers (ways of exploring the topic further are indicated in the bibliography). So it remains to hope that this book will be as enjoyable for readers using it as it has been for the author writing it and that it will contribute to making an interesting and important area of Roman literature more widely known. Warmest thanks are due to Matthew Robinson, Niall Slater and Kathryn Tempest, who all took the time during busy periods to read through an entire draft of the book and saved me from a number of embarrassing errors and infelicities. Deborah Blake at Duckworth has enthusiastically supported this project from the beginning and ensured its timely and beautiful production; individuals, publishers and institutions have kindly granted permission for reprints or reproductions: I am grateful to everyone involved.
