| 520 | _a"The Dramatic Values in Plautus" by Wilton W. Blancké is a scholarly thesis written in the early 20th century, focusing on the comic playwright Plautus and his misunderstood contributions to drama. The book aims to provide a thorough analysis of Plautine comedy, exploring its structure, themes, critical reception, and the inherent artistic value that has been overlooked or misjudged by past scholars. By examining both the comedic techniques employed by Plautus and the cultural context of his work, Blancké seeks to clarify the poet's true position within the realm of dramatic art. At the start of the thesis, Blancké discusses the longstanding misconceptions surrounding Plautus as both a comic artist and a moral storyteller. He addresses how overreactive criticisms have oscillated between adulation and denigration, highlighting the necessity for a more balanced appreciation of his works. He introduces the idea that Plautus should be understood as primarily an entertainer, crafting plays that catered to the desires of a raucous audience while employing techniques akin to modern farce and slapstick. The opening sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of Plautine comedy, inviting readers to reconsider the merit of laughter within his dramatic methods rather than condemning them for lack of superior artistic intent.
