Summary:

This is new volume represents forty years of scholarship. Of the twenty papers collected here, thirteen explore tragedy in general and Euripides in particular, but with emphasis on textual questions - transmission, interpretation, verbal criticism - and dramatic form. The other seven evaluate important Euripidean scholars from the 17th to the 19th centuries, including Joshua Barnes, Jeremiah Markland, S Mugrave, Peter Elmsely and J H Monk. The book's material is divided into three thematic sections: 'Tragedy, ' 'Euripides' and 'Euripideans.' All papers have been corrected and revised, and supplemented with further matter, chiefly a recent and full bibliography.
