This new translation of The Bacchae, that strange blend of Aeschylean grandeur and Euripidean finesse, is an attempt to reproduce for the American stage the play as it most probably was when new and unmutilated in 406 B.C.

These effects and controversial questions of the composition and stylistics are discussed in the notes and the accompanying essay.. Trade Paperback. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall .
