To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is of course likely that a new phase of action will begin after an interlude, and in course of time a conscious regard for symmetry may lead to the demarcation of logical units by interludes; and ultimately such logical chapters may be fixed in number. There is no evidence that they did become so fixed in later Greek or Roman comedy, but only that a varying number of chapters is set off by various sorts of interludes. In the Latin plays, if one is not blinded by the Euripidean theory, the vi...sible facts are, first and primarily, that the structure in general points to a concern in the Roman theater for continuous action rather than for action interrupted by substantial pauses, least of all by any regularly recurring number of pauses in individual plays ;^ secondly, that there are in some plays conditions which, obscurely or distinctly, suggest a division into mere in the Greek originals. May I illustrate from the Persa my own attitude toward " vacant stages" and consequent act division, so far as Roman productions are concerned ?
