Matthew Arnold's Merope
Author: Matthew Arnold
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781330476956
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Excerpt from Matthew Arnold's Merope: To Which Is Appended the Electra of Sophocles This volume is an experiment. It is an attempt to introduce and to bring home to modern readers who are not Greek scholars, Attic tragedy in its most perfect form, and in all its characteristics of theme, structure, sentiment, and style. It is an attempt to do in another way what Arnold himself attempted to do when he composed the drama which is here edited - and edited with the best of commentaries, namely, a close and faithful version of the tragedy of which his work is the English counterpart. The 'unlearned' reader may thus compare the original - for the version which we are here privileged to reproduce very exactly recalls it - and the copy, and in this way be brought as nearly as it is possible for a reader without Greek to be brought into touch with the only dramatic masterpieces comparable to our own Shakespeare's. More and more are we beginning to understand that advanced education, on the side at least of the humanities, and particularly of poetry, of criticism, and of many branches of philosophy, must have its basis in the poetry, criticism, and philosophy of ancient Greece, partly because so much of our own is apart from them historically unintelligible, and partly because they supply needs which the rapidly progressive dissolution of all conventionalities and traditions are increasingly creating and defining. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Coverage of American literature has been substantially increased, with new entries on writers such as Cormac McCarthy and Amy Tan and on movements and publications. Contextual and historical coverage has also been expanded, with new entries on European history and culture, post-colonial literature, as well as writers and literary movements from around the world that have influenced English literature. The Companion has always been a quick and dependable source of reference for students, and the new edition confirms its pre-eminent role as the go-to resource of first choice. All entries have been reviewed, and details of new works, biographies, and criticism have been brought right up to date.
