Author Description

Excerpt from The Roman Satura: Its Original Form in Connection With Its Literary Development The fair inference from the whole passage seems to be twofold. First, that a eu tum differed from a play mainly in having no plot. Secondly, that the catam had in it an element of dialogue. This fact seems to follow by implication both from Livy'e positive statements about the aatum and from his omitting to mention the dialogue of Livius' plays as in any way a new factor in the development of the theatrical art. The new element is not the dialogue, but the plot. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
