Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Influence of Plautus on the Comedies of Ben Jonson: A Thesis for the Doctorate in Philosophy The abbreviations selected for the titles of the Plautine comedies are those adopted by Ritschl, Studemund and Goetz. The edition of Plautus from which extracts are taken, and to which reference is made, including the Testimonia Veterum prefixed to the edition, is that from the recension by George Goetz and Friderick Schoell, 1898. The value of this dissertation will be that it is the first systematic attempt in this direction - not that it exhausts the subject, nor that the category of references is complete. As Jonson followed Plautus freely, much of the influence is general or indirect, and can be indicated only by reference and inference. Striking resemblances - where the words correspond, or where the spirit or idea is similar - are regarded as direct influence, and have been cited at length. The use of the Library at Harvard University, and of the Library at Columbia University, was kindly granted me. Among the authorities consulted, are the commentaries on the Plautine plays, Mr. von Reinhardstoettner´s work on Plautus, the publications on Ben Jonson by Mr. Algernon Swinburne, Professor Felix E. Schelling and Mr. J. A. Symonds; and various histories of Roman Literature, chiefly that by Wilhelm Sigmund Teuffel.
