VG/VG Nosignificant faults with book or DJ. First Edition, Octavo. Collection of bizarre letters written to leading international institutions and the perectly sensible replies.
Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. DJ spine sunned. ; 168 pages; This book opens a neglected chapter in the reception of Athenian drama, especially comedy, and gives center stage to a particularly attractive and entertaining series of vase-paintings which have generally been regarded as marginal curiosities. These are the so-called "phylax vases," nearly all painted in Greek cities of South Italy in the period 400 to 360 B. C. Until now, they have been taken to reflect a sort of local folk-theater, but Taplin argues that most, if not all, reflect Athenian comedy of the sort represented by Aristophanes. His bold thesis brings up questions about the relation of tragedy as well as comedy to vase painting, the cultural climate of the Greek cities in Italy, and the extent to which Athenians were aware of drama as a potential "export." It also enriches appreciation of many key aspects of Aristophanic comedy. The book has assembled 47 photographs of vase-paintings, many printed here for the first time outside specialist publications not readily accessible.

52p. Inked ownership of Robert C. Latimer, 1911. The Latimers were from York, PA. 12mo. Original vellum like spine over paper cover boards. Front board heavily embossed and decorated in gold. Hardbound. John Millington Synge (1871-1909), Irish poet and dramatist, was born near Dublin, of Protestant parents. He was an important figure in the Irish literary renaissance. All of Synge's plays reflect his experiences in the Aran Islands. Intense and poetic in style, his works depict the bleak and tragic lives of Irish peasants and fisherfolk. Very good. LITERATURE BOX 1
