Review:

I love the introduction, translation, and notes. Very well informed and stimulating. (John Lenz, Drew University)

The notes and introduction are excellent and the translation itself is clear and effective. (E. Christian Kopff, University of Colorado)

A fine translation. (Betty Nye Quinn, Mount Holyoke College)

Glossary and appendix very helpful. I like the remarks on staging in the introduction. (Patricia P. Matsen, University of South Carolina)

It would be hard to fault this extremely forceful translation, cogent introduction and helpful notes - I look forward to tackling other works in this series. (Jan Gorais, University of Denver)
