This edition presents the complete comedies of Terence, meticulously translated into English prose with detailed notes by George Colman. A cornerstone of classical literature, Terence's plays offer a window into Roman society and comedic traditions. This edition preserves the wit and sophistication of the original Latin, making it accessible to modern readers and scholars alike.
Included are all six of Terence's surviving plays: Andria, Hecyra, Heauton Timorumenos, Phormio, Eunuchus, and Adelphoe. Each play is accompanied by explanatory notes that shed light on the historical context, linguistic nuances, and theatrical conventions of the time. This translation seeks to capture the spirit and humor of Terence's work while remaining faithful to the original text, ensuring an engaging and informative experience for those new to Terence, as well as seasoned classicists.
