Instead of seeing Terence primarily as an adapter of Greek New Comedy,
Sander Goldberg treats him as an innovative dramatist writing for a
specifically Roman audience. His book will interest not only students of
classical literature but also those concerned with wider problems of
critical theory and the comic tradition.
Originally published in 1986.
