This volume of sparkling translations - "The Woman From
Andros", Machiavelli's version of Terence's classic comedy;
"The Mandrake", the earliest and perhaps greatest Italian
theatrical classic of all; and "Clizia", a work inspired by
Plautus' "Casin" - brings to life in English plays whose
racy vernacular language, subtle characterisation, and
innovative dramatic construction preceded Shakespeare's
establishment of English-speaking theatrical comedy by more
than a half century.
