【 摘 要 】

In order to trace the influence of the Latin drama on Elizabethan drama, and to show how it modified or determined the development of the latter, it is proposed to follow in outline the origins and growth both of the Roman drama, such as it has come down to us in the works of Plautus, Terence and Seneca, and of English drama from its beginnings to its culmination with Shakespearean drama.The relationship between the two dramas is given consideration throughout the essay.
