A. J. Boyle

Recenzje

It is hard to imagine this edition being superseded and (with introductory matter, at 745 pages) one cannot really demand any more from an editor. The level of detail is enormous but does not feel cumbersome, and the reader is guided in every aspect of this play by Boyle's friendly and enthusiastic authority. There are 48 pages of 'select' bibliography, an index of Latin words, an index of passages from other plays in the Senecan corpus and a general index. The book is superbly produced and edited
