Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from P. Terenti Afri Hauton Timorumenos
The comedy Of Ben Jonson (1573 as is well known, was greatly in?uenced by his study of the Roman comic poets. Through his in?uence the study of classical models was given a fresh impetus, and the development of comedy in his own time and in that following him was deeply afiected. He was, like Chapman, widely read in the classics, and took the greatest pride in his classical learning. By his scholarly adaptation of the comedy Of Plautus and Terence to English conditions he produced the most perfect comedies that England had seen.
