The theme of the play is the perennially interesting question of the relationship between the generations and the proper way to bring up a son. In the introduction Mr Martin considers Terence in the context of Roman comedy generally and discusses the background of the Adelphoe. There is also a section on metre and scansion and a short analysis of the textual tradition. The full and detailed commentary, besides elucidating the text, seeks at all times to help the reader to understand the work as a play to be enjoyed. The edition is intended for use by students at school and university and for anyone wishing to read and appreciate the play in the original.

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (.), 2000. Reprint 1st ed.1980. X,234p. Paperback. spine and part front cover bit discoloured. Series: Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics. ?Professor Shackleton Bailey? Cicero is, as we have come to expect from him, primarily the private man, and secondarily the cultivated author (though the introduction to this volume does recount his political career in outline). (?) The editor has an eye for relations with both Quietuses, and we are given examples of cicero?s skill in the consolatory and commendatory genres: his cheerful social life under the dictatorship is strongly evoked, as is, more briefly, his vacillation in early 49 (?) and his grief for Tullia, with the embarrassing question of Public. (?) The book has the great advantage of Shackleton Bailey?s own text (for most of the letters) and a skeleton apparatus or ?textual notes? (ELIZABETH RAWSON in The Classical Review (New Series), 1981, pp.119-120).
