Beschreibung

Though better known today as a political theorist than as a dramatist, Machiavelli secured his fame as a giant in the history of Italian comedy more than fifty years before Shakespeare''s comedies delighted English-speaking audiences. This bilingual edition includes all three examples of Machiavelli''s comedic art: sparkling translations of his farcical masterpiece, The Mandrake; of his version of Terence''s The Woman From Andros; and of his Plautus-inspired Clizia--works whose genre afforded Machiavelli a unique vehicle not only for entertaining audiences but for examining virtue amid the twists and turns of fortune.
