Burder was a Congregationalist minister sometime active in Coventry who began life as an engraver but subsequently played an important role in the founding of the RTS. His edition of 'The Pilgrim's Progress' 1786 is the first to be divided into chapters and was frequently reprinted. This is apparently the second Coventry printing; we have a note of an earlier 1790 version issued by Luckman & Suffield. In the earlier issue the pagination is similar but the plates include a frontispiece to each part; here the number of plates remains the same but all are numbered for inclusion in the first part. Rare. ESTC lists only the 1786 edition. M. Luckman, Coventry and J. Mathews, 18 Strand, London, hardcover

198331909Cambridge University Press. 1983. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Light foxing to top of textblock. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Minor shelfwear to book. Dustjacket spine is sunned.; One of the difficulties in appreciating the literature of a foreign culture and even more that of an ancient one is to be sensitive to the overtones that certain concepts held for the original audience. A distinctive feature of Greek culture was an awareness of the power of words and an interest in the interrelationships between persuasion peitho deception and violence. These issues figured with some prominence in Greek plays. Dr Buxton maintains that certain aspects of classical tragedy become clearer if we recognise what peitho meant to the Greeks. In the first part of his book he attempts to 'excavate' the concept of peitho uncovering its various associations in different areas of experience - politics rhetoric love morality and philosophy. Armed with what he has discovered he turns in the second part to an analysis of selected plays by Aischylos Sophokles and Euripides in which persuasion plays a major role.; 260 pages . 0521241804 .
