Rome and the Mysterious Orient: Three Plays by Plautus Paperback - 2005
by Plautus; Amy Richlin (Translator); Introduction by Amy Richlin
From the rear cover
"Amy Richlin is a gifted and original scholar who has taught a whole generation of classicists and their students answers to the question, What made the Romans laugh? Now it turns out she has contemporary cultures' number as well. She translates Roman laughter into American laughter. From its ingeniously banal title onwards, Rome and the Mysterious Orient brings three remarkable and rarely performed comedies to life on the page and--one hopes, often--the stage."--James Tatum, author of Plautus: The Darker Comedies

Translated from the Latin & With An Introduction & Notes by Amy Richlin. 289 pages. paperback. . keywords: Classical Studies Drama Literature Ancient Rome Translated. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Still funny after two thousand years, the Roman playwright Plautus wrote around 200 B.C.E., a period when Rome was fighting neighbors on all fronts, including North Africa and the Near East. These three plays-originally written for a wartime audience of refugees, POWs, soldiers and veterans, exiles, immigrants, people newly enslaved in the wars, and citizens-tap into the mix of fear, loathing, and curiosity with which cultures, particularly Western and Eastern cultures, often view each other, always a productive source of comedy.
