3 tiny scratches along top edge-- very light shelfwear else Fine. ; Mnemosyne Supplements 314; 580 pages; This volume is arguably one of the most important studies of Euripides to appear in the last decade. Not only does it offer incisive examinations of many of Euripides' extant plays and their influence, it also includes seminal examinations of a number of Euripides’ fragmentary plays. This approach represents a novel and exciting development in Euripidean studies, since it is only very recently that the fragmentary plays have begun to appear in reliable and readily accessible editions. The book’s thirty-two contributors constitute an international 'who’s who' of Euripidean studies and Athenian drama, and their contributions will certainly feature in the forefront of scholarly discourse on Euripides and Greek drama for years to come.

Publisher's full red cloth spine in five compartments separated by raised bands and gilt borders gilt lettering in three compartments gilt tooling in remainder. Red silk marked bound in. Folio 376 x 251 mm. This is a full-size photographic facsimile of the First Folio edition of Shakespeare's plays which was printed over a period of two years and released in 1623. As printing of the First Filios proceeded proofs were read and corrections were made. The uncorrected sheets were not thrown out but were mixed in with the corrected ones with the result that no two First Folios of which there are 240 in existence are identical. This edition reproduces pages from 29 of the most satisfactory copies out of the 82 now in the Folger Shakespeare Library originally selected by Prof. Charlton Hinman in 1968. In his Introduction Peter W. M. Blayney reconsiders Professor Hinman's findings in the light of new Elizabethan scholarship. The volume includes all of the line numbering established in the 1968 edition as well as the traditional Globe act-scene-line numbers. Professor Blayney's Introduction includes a table identifying the order the pages of each play were set and the compositors believed to have set each page. This is a unique and invaluable tool for any serious Shakespeare scholar. The volume is in perfect pristine condition unmarked tight square and clean. The slipcase is also in perfect condition.

2 vols., 8vo., Second Edition; original black buckram, gilt backs, a very good, bright, clean set. Sold from an institution with its stamps and labels on endpapers and title versos. Much-needed reissue of the original edition of 1933. VERY SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION
Five volumes. Title pages in red and black. Foxed. Handsome engraved illustrations after the designs of the renowned artist Bernard Picart (1673-1733). 12 mo. Worn contemporary full leather bindings. Marbled edges and endpapers. Edited by Claude Brossette (1671-1743) and Charles Hugues Lefebvre de Saint-Marc (1698-1769). Boileau-Despreaux was an extraordinarily influential French literary critic and poet. He was the spokesman of classicism. He drew his principles from his contemporaries (especially his friends - Racine, Moliere, and La Fontaine). His critical precepts are all included here. Revered in the 18th century as a literary lawgiver, he was later detested by the romantics. Boileau's own poetic reputation rests on his satires, especially Le Lutrin, on the clerical world; Satires III and VI, on life in Paris; and Satire X, on women. He was a zealous polemicist, notably embroiled in quarrels with Desmarets de Saint-Sorlin and Perrault. Understanding of Boileau is an essential ingredient in the analysis of the literature of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! FR3
