His poetical efforts were not generally appreciated, although he received encouragement from his younger contemporary Plato (Plutarch, Lysander, 18). His chief works were: an epic Thebais, an account of the expedition of the Seven against Thebes and the war of the Epigoni; and an elegiac poem Lyde, so called from the poet's mistress, for whose death he endeavoured to find consolation telling stories from mythology of heroic disasters (Plutarch, Consul, ad Apoll. 9; Athenaeus xiii. 597). Antimachus was the founder of "learned" epic poetry, and the forerunner of the Alexandrian school, whose critics allotted him the next place to Homer. He also prepared a critical recension of the Homeric poems

Madame Favart Duronceray fu oltre che autrice e coautrice di numerose di queste commedie anche una delle più celebri attrici del suo tempo. Una deglia autori è sicuramente Favart Duronceray Marie-Justine Benoit, mentre l'altro autore è probabilemnte Charles-Simon Favart (marito della Duronceray). Finalini e testatine ornati. Qualche piccola macchiolina al frontespizio e per il resto in buone condizioni di conservazione. L'opera è ispirata al lavoro dello stesso titolo di Marmontel che riprese la storia vera di due cugini, Gilles Dewalt e Marie Schmitz, che amandosi chiesero alla chiesa cattolica ma non ottennero il permesso di sposarsi anche se la donna rimase incinta.

Some page repairs. Disbound. Arthur Murphy (1727-1805), Irish actor and dramatist, first became an actor in 1754, playing many important roles. He then wrote and produced a series of farces (which were almost all adaptations from the French) that were very successful, securing for their author both fame and wealth. Murphy edited a political periodical, called the Test, in support of Henry Fox, by whose influence he was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn, although he had been refused at the Middle Temple in 1757 on account of his connection with the stage. Murphy also wrote a biography of Fielding, an essay on the life and genius of Samuel Johnson and translations of Sallust and Tacitus. FIRST EDITION. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W140
