Very minor shelfwear to book and DJ. ; Mnemosyne, Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum; 255 pages; The Gorgon's Severed Head looks at three plays of Euripides, one early, one middle and one late in his career. Innovations in genre, in the use of the traditional stories, in the representation of women and of gender issues are present at every period. In all three plays characters are depicted creating themselves and each other. Chapter One on Alcestis looks at the artistry of the two main characters and is especially concerned with finding a role for Admetus, the play's most serious problem. The second chapter treats the physical displacement of the myth in Euripides' version of the Electra-Orestes story. A last section approaches the layers of time and space in Phoenissae.

Two Volumes. Illustrated with full page engravings in very good state, and a folding map (soiled and slightly chipped). The lovely engravings are mostly by R. Scott after drawings by J. Stevenson. On title page of Volume One there is an inked inscription "Edward James Foote, to his beloved Wife Mary Foote. On title page of Volume Two inked inscription "Edward James Foote to his beloved Wife Mary Foote: and since her lamented death to our Daughters Mary, Elizabeth, Eleanor & Anna". 235mm. Original full leather bindings, very worn. Boards very fragile or detached. The early owner of this set - Vice-Admiral Sir Edward James Foote (1767-1833) was a prominent Royal Navy officer during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. He served on a number of ships and at several actions, but is best known for becoming caught up in the aftermath of the collapse of the Parthenopean Republic at Naples in 1799. The Gentle Shephered was first published in 1725. The author, Allan Ramsay (1686-1758) was a Scottish poet (or makar), playwright, publisher, librarian and wig-maker! VERIA BX 2
Two Plays bound together: 162 p. Continuous pagination. Early ownership of J. Waldier, 1774, on first title page. Bottom margin of The Funeral title page clipped. 12 mo. 155mm. Virtually disbound. This perhaps should best be considered a candidate for rebinding. Sir Richard Steele (ca. 1672-1729), was a famed english author and politician. The Funeral (first produced in 1702), with its patriotic motifs, apparently attracted the favourable attention of the King himself. The Tender Husband, a comedy, had a brief initial run in April 1705. It returned to Drury Lane for performances later in the year and remained a staple of the London stage repertory for many decades, without remuneration for the author. It is significant that Steele did not have another new play produced until many years later when he was a partner in the Drury Lane management and thus able to reap rewards both as author and as manager - DNB.
