Euripides - Plays - Vol I Unknown - 2006
by Euripides
From the publisher
A.S. Way's celebrated translation of Euripides, which appears now for the first time, takes the place of an old version by several eighteenth and early nineteenth century hands. It is recognized as being perhaps the best English verse rendering of a dramatist whose tremendous powers had been for long despised and it reveals profound sympathy with the style and feeling of the original. John Warrington's Introduction explains the background against which these masterpieces were performed, and traces the influence of philosophical currents and political events upon the mind of Euripides.Keywords: Philosophical Currents Profound Sympathy John Warrington Nineteenth Century English Verse Dramatist Masterpieces Traces Translation

Book Conditions Explained
Biblio’s Book Conditions
-
As NewThe book is pristine and free of any defects, in the same condition as when it was first newly published.
-
Fine (F)A book in fine condition exhibits no flaws. A fine condition book closely approaches As New condition, but may lack the crispness of an uncirculated, unopened volume.
-
Near Fine (NrFine or NF)Almost perfect, but not quite fine. Any defect outside of shelf-wear should be noted.
-
Very Good (VG)A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting.
-
Good (G or Gd.)The average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present. ‘Good’ items often include writing and highlighting and may be ex-library. Any defects should be noted. The oft-repeated aphorism in the book collecting world is “good isn’t very good.”
-
FairIt is best to assume that a “fair” book is in rough shape but still readable.
-
Poor (P)A book with significant wear and faults. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Any missing pages must be specifically noted.
