'A must for the university library' - Alan Beale, The Journal of Classics Teaching

Description

Collects in one volume a broad range of the best modern scholarship on Aeschylus
A specially written Introduction provides a general introduction to Aeschylus

This book is an anthology of thirteen of the most important articles published on Aeschylus in the last fifty years. It gives roughly equal coverage to the seven surviving plays, and there is also a chapter which places them in the context of Aeschylus' work as a whole. Three articles have been translated into English for the first time, and others have a fresh foreword or postscript by the author. Greek quotations have been translated for the benefit of those reading the plays in English. The editor has supplied a substantial introduction and an index.

Readership: Scholars and students of classical literature.
