Описание: Word-play has long been recognized as one of Plautus' principal methods for arousing laughter, and every commentator has been at more or less pains to point out the passages in which this device is used. Just how much effect word-plays have in making Plautus what he is cannot be determined until the subject of Plautine humor is given a thorough investigation, and the various methods for arousing laughter are carefully analyzed and compared. It requires, however, only a casual reading of our author to learn that here, as in the case of Shakespeare, we have to do with a writer who does not use word-plays occasionally, but constantly, and relies to a great extent on this form of the comic. A recent editor of the Mostellaria exaggerates but slightly when he says that Plautus is "copious in quip and pun until quip and pun grow wearisome."It would seem well worth while, then, to collect the Plautine word-plays and put them together, so as to see at a glance just how and to what extent Plautus does employ them. A work of this kind must involve first of all the actual collecting of the word-plays and secondly a division or classification into their various kinds. Part of this work was undertaken by O. Raebel in his "De Usu Adnominationis apud Romanorum Poetas Comicos". Raebel has collected and classified the word-plays in Plautus that may be called adnominationes or paronomasias, humorous as well as non-humorous. This is not the place to discuss the classification of the word-play in general. Raebel's classification, though it might be somewhat changed, is a good one for the adnominatio; but the best one so far proposed is that of Wurth in his Wortspiel bei Shakspere. What is important for the present purpose is the fact that Raebel has considered only the adnominationes in Plautus, with an incidental remark or two on other forms of word-play. An equally important division of the word-play, those plays in which only one word figures and in which there is no play of sound as there is in the adnominatio - perhaps an even more important class from the standpoint of humor - does not come within the scope of his investigation.The text of Goetz and Schoell has been followed in the quotations, since its closeness to the MSS. readings rendered it best for the purpose in hand. Occasionally another reading has been adopted, and such instances are always indicated.

Описание: The theme of this anthology is words, especially words in the context of the Dharma. Words have such power and magic, and yet they also present so many limitations and pitfalls. There are questions of how to use them skilfully and accurately, and the dangers of taking things too literally or misunderstanding metaphors. Indeed, there`s the difference between understanding words and really knowing anything at all. There`s the relationship between words and the truth, and the role poetry plays in connecting them.
Автор: David Christenson Название: Plautus: Casina ISBN: 1350020540 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781350020542 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 73920.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание:
This is the first volume dedicated to Plautus' perennially popular comedy Casina that analyses the play for a student audience and assumes no knowledge of Latin. It launches a much-needed new series of books, each discussing a comedy that survives from the ancient world. Four chapters highlight the play's historical context, themes, performance and reception, including its reflection of recent societal trends in marriage and property ownership by women after the Punic Wars, and its complex dynamics on stage. It is ideal for students, but helpful also for scholars wanting a brief introduction to the play.
Casina pits a husband (Lysidamus) and wife (Cleostrata) against each other in a struggle for control of a 16-year-old slave named Casina. Cleostrata cleverly plots to frustrate the efforts of her lascivious elderly husband, staging a cross-dressing 'marriage' that culminates in his complete humiliation. The play provides rich insights into relationships within the Roman family. This volume analyses how Casina addresses such issues as women's status and property rights, the distribution of power within a Roman household, and sexual violence, all within a compellingly meta-comic framework from which Cleostrata emerges as a surprising comic hero. It also examines the play's enduring popularity and relevance.
