MANUWALD, Gesine, Roman Republican Theatre. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2015. 1st paperback ed. XII,390p. Paperback. 'Gesine Manuwald, who has written extensively on the field, here gives a valuable overview and synthesis of research on a wide range of questions relating to what she aptly calls 'the sweeping and imprecise term ‘Roman Republican drama’' (vii). Her treatment addresses questions about the history, archaeology, performance, poets, and contents of the diverse varieties of dramatic performance in the republican period, and, although some gaps in its coverage will doubtless be felt, there can be no questioning its value on what our texts say, what was said in antiquity about drama, and especially what modern scholarship has to say. This book has much to contribute to the contemporary flourishing of scholarship on Roman drama (...).' (JARRETT WELSH in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2012.07.43). € 32.50 (New) ISBN: 9781107696099
