OverviewPrefaces to Terence's Comedies and Plautus's Comedies presents Lawrence Echard's early modern introductions to the dramatic works of two foundational Roman playwrights. These prefaces offer historical background, literary analysis, and interpretive framing that guided English readers' engagement with Latin comedy during the 17th and 18th centuries. Echard contextualizes Plautus's broad humor and Terence's refined elegance within the traditions of Roman stagecraft and moral philosophy, highlighting their influence on European theatre. Serving both as scholarly apparatus and cultural commentary, these texts reveal how classical literature was received, adapted, and morally evaluated in early modern England. The volume stands as a valuable artifact in the history of classical reception and literary criticism, bridging antiquity and the Enlightenment-era reading public.
