Lingua Latina - Amphitryo Comoedia by Plautus

This is the first edition of Platus' Amphitruo to appear in English for approximately forty years. It contains introductory essays, Latin text and a line-by-line commentary. Students will find this an indispensable tool in reading and translating the play, which was enormously popular in antiquity and has inspired modern adaptations by Moli re, Giraudoux and Harold Pinter, among others. Dr. Christenson makes use of both current critical approaches to theater and traditional classical scholarship to offer many new insights into this delightful comedy.
David Christenson (Ph.D. Harvard University) is Associate Professor of Classics at the University of Arizona. He is the author of several books including Roman Comedy: Five Plays by Plautus and Terence and Plautus: Casina, Amphitryon, Captivi, Pseudolus, both for Focus Publishing. In 2011-12, he will be a Loeb Classical Library Foundation Fellow.
