A Companion to Terence

Each chapter discusses key issues in Terence, including Terence’s relationship with his Greco-Roman models, his language and style, the question of performance and dramatic technique, and the socio-political background that shapes the themes, characters, structures, and cultural-political concerns.

A Companion to Terence is a useful research tool for the growing number of scholars, students and critics of Terence and Roman comedy.
