OverviewThis contribution by Gesine Manuwald provides an introduction to all varieties of ‘Roman comedy’, including primarily fabula palliata (‘New Comedy’, as represented by Plautus and Terence) as well as fabula togata, fabula Atellana, mimus and pantomimus. It examines the major developments in the establishment of these dramatic genres, their main characteristics, the performance contexts for them in Republican Rome, and their reception. The presentation of the key facts is accompanied by a description of the influential turns and recent trends in scholarship on Roman comedy. The essay is designed for scholars, teachers and (graduate) students who have some familiarity with Roman literature and are looking for (further) orientation in the area of Roman comedy.

Her discussion of Quellenforschung, Greek originals, Italian influences, and interpolation (pp. 23-27) is very clear and helpful. And her overview of the rest of comedy beyond the big two-other authors of palliata, plus togata, Atellana, and mime and pantomime (pp. 43-54)-is excellent, clear, crisp, and engaging. If you're a Plautus/Terence scholar looking to branch out to other areas of the genre, or looking to get back into Plautine & Terentian studies after a couple of decades away, this is a great tool for the job. [...] Ultimately, Manuwald's Roman Comedy is a grand synthesis of more than a century of scholarship, a synthesis undertaken by a scholar at the top of her field-clear proof, to be sure, of the importance of the genre and its study, despite longstanding short-selling of it by classicists. - T.
