Slaves, Masters, and the Art of Authority in Plautine Comedy
Kathleen McCarthy
What pleasures did Plautus' heroic tricksters provide their original audience? How should we understand the compelling mix of rebellion and social conservatism that Plautus offers? Through a reading of four plays representing the full range of his work, this book develops a different model of Plautine comedy and its social effects.
