Original brown quarter-cloth on beige pictorial boards with red lettering. Highly-embellished translation by T.E. Lawrence as L.H. Ross of what was said to be a rather pedestrian French original.

While completing final arrangements to give Lawrence Mardrus' Arabian Nights for translation Cape give him Le Gigantesque by Le Corbeau the life story of a Sequoia tree with determinism as the underlying theme. Completed in about three months it proved to be the only translation from French that he completed. By December he was involved with The Seven Pillars of Wisdom which occupied him for three years.

201115862University College Dublin Press. 2011. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Book is fine. DJ has very minor shelfwear.; Plutarch whose works have remained immensely popular through the years has shaped our ideas about much of the ancient world. His humane sensibilities his skill in storytelling and not least his humor have combined to charm readers throughout the centuries persuading them that he is like them. In the twentieth century he was declared a feminist. In this study Chapman argues that his attitudes towards women were in fact those of his time and that while he opted for persuasion instead of force in controlling women his views are nonetheless chauvinistic. This book breaks new ground in scholarly terms but is also accessible to the general reader who wants to learn more about Plutarch and women in antiquity.; 210 pages . 1906359644 .
