Description: Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1968. 1st ed. CXXVIII,285p. Original burgundy cloth. Ex libris glued to paste-down endpaper. Pages a little bit yellowed. Some decent, erasable pencil markings and underlinings. 'This is a splendid book. (...) The introduction contains, inter alia, extensive and illuminating sections on Socrates, on the contest between Right and Wrong, on staging and casting, and on the relation between the two versions of the play. The author has the gift of presenting old problems in a new light, as if he were the first to write about them. The chapter on Socrates is excellent and will do away, one hopes, with all the solemn nonsense one is wont to read elsewhere on the subject.'
