Editorial Reviews
Review
'His commentary on individual texts is ...sound, useful and informed by the considerable body of published scholarship on individual plays, and the female characters in them, which have appeared in recent decades. Readers and teachers of Roman comedy will find this volume a useful, and corrective, addition to their shelves.' - Scholia
