The Classical Style of Terence
Year: 2024
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: This piece argues that Terence’s style is the foundation of classical Latin style, in contrast with the more evidently colourful and archaising style of Plautus, and should not simply be classified as ‘archaic’. In early Latin, tonal and generic diversity are already more important than mere chronology in determining style. Lexically, Terence’s language is highly classical and perceived as such in antiquity.
