Private library labels. Olive Logan was the daughter of a famous actor, dramatist, and theater manager who was most active in Ohio and the mid-West. She was a child actress who went on to a long stage career. She suppleme nted her income by working as a journalist, and later as a lecturer. Some of her accounts of the stage were sensational. As she unfolds her memoirs she gives a great many little details about the art of stage craft and the state of the American theater in the latter half of the 19th century. Much of this is accomplished by her portrayals of the great stage personalities of the age. She also tries to redeem the actors' profession from the still wide-held belief that it was immoral and dishonorable. "If (my work) strips off some of the 'gauze and vanity' from the 'show world' I hope it a l so e xhibits that world in a fairer and juster light to many who have hitherto looked on it with ungenerous and unenlightened eyes" -- From the Preface. LOC :W140-148

Book is fine. DJ has very mild shelfwear. ; This book is a study of the agon, or formal debate, in Euripides' tragedies. In these scenes, two characters confront each other, often before an arbitrator or judge, and make long speeches as if they were opponents in a court of law. Most of Euripides' extant plays contain an agon, often of crucial importance to the central conflict of the play. Lloyd provides interpretations of the more important agones, giving special attention to their dramatic context and function. Concentrating on Euripides' rhetorical skill, brilliance in argument, and interest in philosophy, Lloyd explores the role of formal debate in Euripides. He contrasts the agon in Euripides' work with that of Sophocles, and discusses extensively Euripides' relationship to fifth-century rhetorical theory and practice. ; 160 pages
Gift inscription from author to 'Michael' on ffep. Very light shelfwear to book. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; A. J. Littlewood approaches Seneca's tragedies as Neronian literature rather than as reworkings of Attic drama, and emphasizes their place in the Roman world and in the Latin literary corpus. The Greek tragic myths are for Seneca mediated by non-dramatic Augustan literature. In literary terms Phaedra's desire, Hippolytus' innocence, and Hercules' ambivalent heroism look back through allusion to Roman elegy, pastoral, and epic respectively. Ethically, the artificiality of Senecan tragedy, the consciousness that its own dramatic worlds, events, and people are literary constructs, responds to the contemporary Stoical dismissal of the public world as mere theatre. ; Oxford Classical Monographs; 344 pages; Signed by Author

Publishers cloth. 4to. 78 pages. 27 cm. First edition. Illustrated by Note Kozlovski. Beginners Yiddish primer, with illustrated stories and word exercises, jokes and riddles. Published by Farlag Matones in New York, written by Sarah L. Liebert; born in Poland in 1892 and immigrated to the United States, settling in New York. She was active in Jewish communal and cultural life in the New York and New Jersey areas, achieving perhaps greatest public recognition as president of the Sholem Aleichem Women's Organization. She was also a member of the National Council of Jewish Women. In the 1920s and 1930s she served as Supervisor of Jewish Education of the Council's Farm and Rural Department, an organization that responded to the needs of Jews living in the rural areas of New York and New Jersey without a central Jewish community on which to rely. In her position as supervisor of Jewish education, Liebert developed and disseminated Jewish educational materials in rural areas, contacted and trained itinerant Jewish educational teachers, organized Jewish educational classes, and helped new immigrants adjust to their new environment. Sarah Liebert died in New York in 1955. (Jewish Womens Archive) Subjects: Yiddish language - Readers. OCLC lists 5 copies (DLC, Indiana, Harvard, HUC, UT Austin) .

Rhesus, a tragedy traditionally (but wrongly) attributed to Euripides, has been the object of too little scholarly attention over the last decades. While debate has focused largely on the question of the play's authenticity, consequently overlooking the features of the play itself, this important new commentary explores the essential elements such as language, style, character-portrayal, and metre. The play's stagecraft and plot-construction are scrutinized and shown to be generally idiosyncratic and often defective despite occasional flashes of genius in the handling of dramatic time and theatrical space. Through the detailed introduction, translation, and commentary, Liapis shows that Rhesus is largely derivative, as it contains a significant amount of textual material taken from other classical tragedies and genres. The conclusion is that the contested author's familiarity with fifth-century drama bespeaks a professional actor, probably one specializing in re-performances of classical repertoire. Such evidence suggests that Rhesus can therefore be considered as not only a surviving fourth-century tragedy, but also one conceived for performance outside of Athens. ; 364 pages
