A Guide to Greek Tragedy
For English Readers (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Guide to Greek Tragedy: For English Readers<br><br>The present volume does not profess to be a repertory of facts and theories respecting the Greek Drama. For such results of learned and archological research I would confidently refer the reader to Haigh's Attic Theatre, or, if a German scholar, to A. Mller's Bhnenalterthumer, and to the books there cited. My hope has been that by recording impressions made on myself by somewhat close and long-continued study of the originals, I might assist the reader of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, whether in Greek or English, to enter more completely into the spirit and intention of their works.<br><br>Greek tragedy, as an interpretation of human life, contains much which the world cannot afford to lose. It carries an imperfect lesson relative to a transitional age, yet one that is of lasting import, and inseparable from the vehicle of dramatic art in which it is couched.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
