Terence: Andria Summary

Terence: Andria by Sander M. Goldberg (University of California, Los Angeles, USA)

Launching a much-needed new series discussing each comedy that survives from the ancient world, this volume is a vital companion to Terence's earliest comedy, Andria, highlighting its context, themes, staging and legacy. Ideal for students it assumes no knowledge of Latin, but is helpful also for scholars wanting a quick introduction. This will be the first port of call for anyone studying or researching the play. Though Andria launched Terence's career as a dramatist at Rome, it has attracted comparatively little attention from modern critics. It is nevertheless a play of great interest, not least for the sensitivity with which it portrays family relationships and for its influence on later dramatists. It also presents students of Roman comedy with all the features that came to characterize Terence's particular version of traditional comedy, and it raises all the interpretive questions that have dogged the study of Terence for generations. This volume will use a close reading of the play to explore the central issues in understanding Terence's style of play-making and its legacy.

Terence: Andria Reviews

Goldberg 's tracing of critical and literary attitudes towards Andria across the centuries renders Terence's first play a true universal classic. * CJ Online *
This little book is an excellent introduction to Terence's Andria and indeed to Roman comedy in general. * Classics for All *
A highly readable, up-to-date companion to an important, yet relatively neglected play by Terence. Attractively designed and written in a lively style, it offers even Latinless undergraduate readers an accessible introduction to Roman comedy. At the same time, more advanced scholars of Roman comedy will also find much that should interest them. * The Classical Review *
Sander Goldberg's Companion is a highly engaging, deeply learned introduction to the Andria that speaks directly to the concerns of contemporary readers, guiding us through the controversies of this play with good sense and sound judgement and offering rich insight into the challenges of replicating Terence in translation, as Prof. Goldberg introduces us to the scholars and adaptors who have brought the play to new audiences over the past two millennia. -- Ariana Traill, Associate Professor of Classics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
This fine guide to Terence's Andria highlights for students and scholars the vibrant, complex, and controversial world of ancient comedy. Goldberg is thoughtful, fair, and circumspect throughout this volume and this introduction will be useful to all readers, whether turning to Andria for the first time or for the one hundred and first. * GNOMON *
[Goldberg] marries the expertise of a Terentian doyen with an unusually smooth pen, omnia dulcia dicens. * Greece & Rome *
