Synopsis
Excerpt from Sketches of the Greek Dramatic Poets for English Readers
The Lectures contained in this volume were delivered in Cork in 1896, and were not originally intended for publication. The first four formed part of a course of Lectures on Greek Poetry, Epic and Dramatic, prepared for the Cork Society for the Extension of University Teaching, and the remaining Lecture, that on the Classical and the Romantic Drama, was written for the Cork Shakespearian Society. The Lectures on Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes were, in each case, supplemented by an after-lecture, not included in the present volume, in which the subject was more fully treated for the benefit of those of the audience who proposed presenting themselves for the Examination held at the end of the course.
I desire to acknowledge my obligations to the Histories of Greek Literature by Professor Mahaffy and by Jevons, to several volumes of the series of Ancient Classics for English Readers, and to Professor Butcher's edition of the Poetics of Aristotle.
My best thanks are due to Professor L. C. Purser, Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, for kindly reading the proofs and making several valuable suggestions.
