SOPHOCLES, Philoctetes. Edited by T.B.L. Webster. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (...), 1970. VIII,177p. Cloth. Small personal library mark and name on free endpaper. Series: Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics. 'This book (...) is 'the first in a series inaugurated to meet the increasing demand for editions of classical texts which are concerned as much with literary content as with linguistic and textual problems. The main emphasis in Professor Webster's commentary is on explaining the impact of the play through metre and language rather than on the examination and comparison of points of grammatical and syntactical usage. (...) The book contains a sketch of the history of the text and the main facts about the manuscripts by Mrs. P.E. Easterling which is clear, lively and accurate, and might interest even those who are afraid of textual problems.' (H. LLOYD-JONES in The Classical Review (New Series), 1972, p.102). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover. € 19.50 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9780521074728
