Opis

Few ancient authors are as challenging as Euripides, and few have provoked so many diverse critical opinions through the ages. This volume aims to bring together some classic essays illustrating the main strands of Euripidean criticism over the last forty years in a form convenient for students. Two of the essays are translated here for the first time, and many others have been revised by their authors. There is a general introduction by the editor surveying the scholarly tradition. All Greek has been translated.

Recenzje

Mossman's Introduction is a model of literary sensibility, concision, elegance, and erudition, the product of many years' immersion in Euripides and his interpreters. Her book is a compulsory purchase for any school or college library.
