Word-Index It is a welcome aid to the study of a play which has some brilliant comic scenes and a problematic central character inviting discussion, has a rich afterlife in European
literature, and poses tantalising questions over its lost ending. --J.C.B. Lowe, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Maclennan and Stockert have published a much-needed English commentary on one of Plautus' most influential plays. [...] While [their] edition and commentary [...] is necessarily reduced, especially on textual and other more technical matters, it incorporates much updated Plautine scholarship and features a pair (!) of complete translations. [...] [They] capture much of the vigorous playfulness of Plautine verse [...] both students and specialists will find thoughtful and sensitive interpretations in Maclennan and Stockert for many years to come.
