Combining textual and literary evidence, this book argues that many Plautine jokes, puns, and names of characters were misunderstood in antiquity. By examining the comedian's tendency to make up and misuse words, Fontaine elucidates many new jokes and argues for a sophisticated, Hellenistic Plautus who wrote for a sophisticated Roman audience.

Pressestimmen
"Every reader of this work will find out for himself what to accept, what to doubt and what to refuse. But all the scholars who are interested in Plautine comedy should read this innovative book." --Ancient History Bulletin Online Reviews
"a bold approach that seeks to unlock the puzzle of all these passages with a unified explanation that calls for a radical reappraisal of Plautine comedy." --Greece and Rome
"This is a superb study of Plautine verbal play, both in its originality and in its far-reaching implications for Plautus' dramatic art. Anyone interested in exploring the complex adaptation, and especially at this critical juncture in the process, will learn much from Fontaine's pellucidly argued, refreshingly jargon-free, and richly indexed study of Plautus' funny words." --New England Classical Journal
