Euripidea: Collected EssaysJames Diggle is one of the foremost Euripidean scholars of our time. His ground-breaking Studies on the Text of Euripides, culminating in his new edition of the complete plays in the Oxford Classical Texts series, have won him a world-wide reputation. This collection comprises forty-one papers and reviews (including five papers not previously published), designed as a companion to the new Oxford text. The published papers and reviews have been lightly revised and updated, and equipped with copious cross-references. There are full indexes. The collection not only offers a commentary on an extensive range of problematic passages in the plays; it also provides an up-to-date grammar of Euripidean usage - linguistic, stylistic, and metrical - and deals with many aspects of the manuscript tradition. It will be an indispensable handbook for all future scholars of Euripides. |
