Publisher's Synopsis
The Andrian, Heautontimoreumenos, and Hecyra of Terence is a collection of three plays by the Roman playwright Terence, translated into English and published in 1836. The Andrian is a comedy about a young man who falls in love with a woman from a neighboring town, but must navigate the disapproval of his father and the interference of his scheming servant. Heautontimoreumenos, also a comedy, tells the story of a man who becomes obsessed with his own problems and neglects his friends and family, until he is forced to confront the consequences of his selfishness. Hecyra, a drama, follows the struggles of a young woman who is abandoned by her husband and left to raise their child alone. The three plays showcase Terence's skill in creating complex characters and exploring themes of love, family, and morality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
