Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Plays of Euripides' (Volume 1) offers a compelling collection of some of the most influential tragedies in the history of Western literature. Euripides, the last of the three great Athenian tragedians, is celebrated for his psychological realism, his exploration of the inner lives of his characters, and his willingness to question the social and religious norms of his time. This volume presents his enduring works in English translations that strive to preserve the poetic power and dramatic tension of the original Greek verses.Within these pages, readers will find profound explorations of vengeance, honor, and the human condition. From the devastating domestic tragedy of 'Medea' to the harrowing effects of conflict in 'The Trojan Women,' Euripides provides a voice to the voiceless and examines the moral complexities of the heroic age. His works remain timeless for their skepticism of traditional authority and their deep empathy for the suffering of individuals caught in the gears of fate and political upheaval. This collection is a vital resource for anyone interested in the foundations of drama, classical studies, and the enduring questions of justice and humanity.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. In good condition, lightly aged and folded for postage. 2pp, 16mo. Signed 'H H Milman' and addressed to 'My dear Mr Lister' (the item is from the papers of Lister's wife Lady Theresa Lewis (1803-1865; ODNB). He begins by congratulating Lister on the birth of his daughter 'and the safety of Lady Theresa'. He thinks that Lister has been 'quite right to take the precaution of [?] the young Lady, being so delicate [?], but I trust that the precaution will prove unnecessary - I will take care of the entry in the Register if it is left with the Clerk.' He ends with complements 'to Lady Theresa and Mrs Villiers'.…

See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. In good condition, lightly aged and folded for postage. 2pp, 12mo. Signed 'H H Milman' and addressed to 'G. C. Lewis Esq'. Written in a crabbed hand. Begins: 'My dear Lewis / I think that I mentioned to you my great wish to build a Church for the [?] of St Margarets. Allow me to direct your attention to the enclosed paper; [not present] and to add that I hope for your support.' He would be sorry to lose another year, and is very anxious 'to ascertain on what subscription I can [?], as I cannot make application to other public bodies till I know what the district will do for itself - If properly supported I have no doubt of success.…

See the entries on the two men in the Oxford DNB. The document to which Stirling Maxwell refers in this letter can be read as 'Dissent (No. III.)' on pp.xiii to xxii of the parliamentary 'Report of the Oaths Commission. Presented to both Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty.' (London: Eyre and Spottiswoode, 1867). There were five dissenters to the report: alongside Stirling Maxwell and Milman were Robert Lowe, Lord Lyveden, and Edward Pleydell Bouverie. 3pp, 12mo. On bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with traces of glue from mounting to blank reverse of second leaf. Signed 'William Stirling Maxwell'. He begins: 'My dear Mr. Dean / I was very glad to learn from Lord Lyveden that we were to have the great advantage of your name, in our Dissent from the Oath's Report. / No doubt it is longer than might be wished; but it is much more easy to suggest the modification of an abuse (which is all the Report does) briefly; than to condense into a very compact form reasons for the abandonment of a vicious system.' He explains that he supplied 'examples in which Oaths & Declarations had been found nugatory', expecting a choice to be made of them, but that none of them 'have been scored out by any of our friends - & I see no harm in letting them remain.' He and Bouverie ask Dean to strike out examples relating to Jeremy Bentham and Sydney Smith, 'if you consider them beneath the dignity of the Blue book style'.…

3pp., 4to. Bifolium. Addressed, on reverse of second leaf, to 'Francis Cohen Esq | King's Bench Walk | Temple | London'. Fair, on aged paper, with the narrow remains of a paper windowpane mount around the edges of the second leaf. Milman begins: 'I found Garbett so much occupied that until yesterday I have not had an opportunity of seeing him'. Garbett has promised to send Milman 'a detailed answer' to all of Cohen's questions, 'and is very much flattered by your favorable opinion'. A notice from Cohen 'would be a very good avant-courier' for the 'account of the work' which Garbett intends to publish. Gabett is 'by nature rather dilatory, and at present is a good deal at Oxford, where he is employed on a new sheet - which is to bring the long-banished Worcester College into the University'. He is pleased that Cohen likes 'the Martyr, who indeed is a greater female than I expected her to be [Milman's dramatic poem 'The Martyr of Antioch' (1822)] - on the subject of Anti Diluvian Heroes, I agree very much with you, and cannot sufficiently admire the manner in which Milton, and he alone triumphed over the difficulty - His Adam and Eve are just different enough from all other men and women to make us believe that they were inhabitants of a nobler and better world; just sufficiently allied to human nature in their thoughts and feelings, to arrest our sympathies, and interest us'. He has a little more to say about the subject, before concluding.…
