ARISTOPHANES. [Dover, Kenneth, ed.] Frogs. [The Greek text] edited with an introduction and commentary by Kenneth Dover.
Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1994 0198150059
xvi/398 pp. 8vo, quality paperback. A very good, clean copy. CLARENDON PAPERBACKS. Among extant Greek comedies, the Frogs is unique for the light it throws on Classical Greek attitudes toward tragedy and literature in general. It merits a much more extensive commentary than it has so far received, and the establishment of the text itself has rested for over a century on collations which were inadequate and inaccurate. At the same time, its most problematic passages have been the subject, in recent years, of more scholarly articles than those of any other Greek play. In this new edition of the play, with a full introduction and commentary, Sir Kenneth Dover offers a comprehensive presentation of the relevant data, arguments, and considerations.

BENNETT, BENJAMIN. Hugo Von Hofmannsthal: The Theaters of Consciousness.
Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 1988 0521340535
xviii/391 pp. 8vo, Brown embossed boards. A fine HARDCOVER copy. No dust wrapper. This book focuses on Hugo von Hofmannsthal's intense, lifelong concentration upon a single cohesive set of poetic, philosophical and ethical concerns, a quality of his work which has been neglected in the bulk of existing scholarship. Professor Bennett examines Hofmannsthal's work in the context of literary theory and the history of philosophy, referring especially to Nietzsche, German Idealism and the poetics of German Classicism. He identifies three principal areas of concern to Hofmannsthal: the theory of genre, the question of the role of literature in society and the search for a fruitful response to the problem of the historical development of culture. The argument proceeds by way of detailed interpretation of texts, including Der Tor und der Tod, the Chandos letter, Ariadne auf Naxos, Der Schwierige, Das Salzburger Grosse Welttheater and Der Turm.

London, Marion Boyars 1992 0714529192
170 pp. Illustrations. 8vo, boards. A very good, clean HARDCOVER copy in dust wrapper protected in plastic.

Although an 'oral biography', these memoirs are discreetly structured and of great musicological and historical value. The book also contains a long letter to Karl Böhm in which Richard Strauss outlines his thoughts on the future of opera.

Theophrastus redivivus is an anonymous book published in 1659, famous for proclaiming that all the great philosophers have been atheists; religions are contrived works of men; there is no valid proof for the existence of gods, and those who claim experience of a god are either disingenuous or ill. The book has been described as "a compendium of old arguments against religion and belief in God" and "an anthology of free thought." It comprises materialist and skeptical treatises from classical sources as Pietro Pomponazzi, Lucilio Vanini, Michel de Montaigne, Machiavelli, Pierre Charron, and Gabriel Naudé. The text is in Latin and the critical matter in Italian.
