Summary:

Plautine Trends brings together experts on Roman comedy in a collective volume, focusing on key issues of modern Plautine research: Plautus's Greek models vs. Romanisation, generic self-awareness vs. interactive innovation, comic staging, metatheairical aspects, as well as questions of language, structure, socio-historical and philosophical context, intertextualiiy and reception. The journal Trends in Classics, and the accompanying Supplementary Volumes publish innovative, interdisciplinary work which brings to the study of Greek and Latin texts the insights and methods of related disciplines such as narratology, intertextuality, reader-response criticism, and oral poetics. Both publications seek to publish it-search across the lull range of classical antiquity. Book jacket.
