Miles Gloriosus or “Braggart Warrior” is one of the best-known and liveliest Roman comedies. It shows Plautus at his ablest in ingenious plot construction, vivid characterization, fast-moving action, and humorous dialogue.
This edition of the Latin text is fully and very helpfully annotated. The substantial introduction considers the antecedents of Plautus’s drama in Greek New Comedy and in Italic farce, his mixture of Greek and Roman both in language and in the life portrayed, and his stagecraft, language, and meter.
A fine edition of the Miles Gloriosus… Especially useful for the student. * Classical Bulletin *
At last we have an excellent edition for college students of Plautus’s Miles with notes in English… Its virtues are many… The Miles [will be] a joy to read and teach. * Classical World *
Thanks to the editors, undergraduates will now have accessible a thoroughly helpful and interesting commentary. * Journal of Roman Studies *
