Sophocles: Philoctetes Hardcover - 1970

by Sophocles; T. B. Webster (Editor)


From the publisher

The theme of Sophocles' Philoctetes is of lasting significance. It revolves round Neoptolemus' struggles with his conscience, and Philoctetes' strength in adversity and refusal to accept any compromise. Sophocles explores the relationship between the two central characters with powerful subtlety. The main emphasis in Professor Webster's commentary is on explaining the impact of the play through metre and language rather than on the examination and comparison of points of grammatical and syntactical usage. He deals with all the essential problems of the play at a level appropriate to the needs of students in the upper forms of schools and at university.

Description:
Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (...), 1970. VIII,177p. Cloth wrps. Series: Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics. 'This book (...) is 'the first in a series inaugurated to meet the increasing demand for editions of classical texts which are concerned as much with literary content as with linguistic and textual problems. The main emphasis in Professor Webster's commentary is on explaining the impact of the play through metre and language rather than on the examination and comparison of points of grammatical and syntactical usage. (...) The book contains a sketch of the history of the text and the main facts about the manuscripts by Mrs. P.E. Easterling which is clear, lively and accurate, and might interest even those who are afraid of textual problems.' (H. LLOYD-JONES in The Classical Review (New Series), 1972, p.102).
