This little book is an excellent introduction to Terence's Andria and indeed to Roman comedy in general.

Classics for All

A highly readable, up-to-date companion to an important, yet relatively neglected play by Terence. Attractively designed and written in a lively style, it offers even Latinless undergraduate readers an accessible introduction to Roman comedy. At the same time, more advanced scholars of Roman comedy will also find much that should interest them.

The Classical Review

Sander Goldberg's Companion is a highly engaging, deeply learned introduction to the Andria that speaks directly to the concerns of contemporary readers, guiding us through the controversies of this play with good sense and sound judgement and offering rich insight into the challenges of replicating Terence in translation, as Prof. Goldberg introduces us to the scholars and adaptors who have brought the play to new audiences over the past two millennia.

Goldberg is thoughtful, fair, and circumspect throughout this volume and this introduction will be useful to all readers, whether turning to Andria for the first time or for the one hundred and first.
