The Bacchae. A translation with commentary by G.S. Kirk. With a series introduction by E.A. Havelock. - Euripides
KORTE INHOUD
Prentice-Hall, London, n.d. 1st ed.(>1970). XVII,141p. Paperback. Lower corner front cover a bit creased. Edges a bit foxed. The Bacchae is the last and greatest of Euripides' plays. Its theme of the cost of resisting the gods who reside in human nature itself is still of immediate interest to audiences and readers and has inspired modern interpretations. Professor Kirk has made a translation which is both accurate and readable. This he supports with an analytic commentary and a substantial introductory essay which provide the Greek-less reader with essential background information and offer interpretation of a kind usually found only in Greek editions. This is a translation for students of Greek tragedy, particularly in courses on classics in translations or classical civilisation. It will also be useful for students of drama and of English and other literatures. (Publisher's information). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott.
