About this title

Book Description

This 1891 book was a response to A. W. Verrall's Seven Against Thebes (1887) and Agamemnon (1889). It is an early publication by Walter Headlam (1866–1908), whose work on Aeschylus remained influential long after his death. Headlam critiques Verrall's editorial methods and dissects his texts, providing emendations and explanatory notes.
