Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Three Dramas of Euripides
The present volume of essays is intended as a contribution to literature, not to classical philo logy. The writer's appeal is not to Greek schol ars, except for unsparing criticism wherever he has missed the meaning of his original. His chief desire is to make this group of ancient dramas in telligible and interesting to the wider circle of men and women who are lovers of good literature. In cidentally, indeed, he could not refrain from striv ing to enforce the central article of his own creed that in the drama, as in all the other creative arts, we may demand from the artist not a mere mirror of life in its more vulgar aspects, but rather aid in shaping and imitating our own loftiest and noblest ideals.
