About this book

Plautus: Menaechmi (Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics) by Plautus. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780521349703.

Plautus comedy Menaechmi was the main inspiration for Shakespeares The Comedy of Errors. In this edition Dr. Gratwick provides a newly constituted text, a commentary for students giving help with language and context, and an introduction that sheds new light on the interpretation of the play and on Plautus place in the development of European comedy. Central to Dr. Gratwicks treatment is an analysis of the various meters employed by Plautus, which challenges many conventional views but also offers the student practical assistance with the technical problems involved.
