SOPHOCLES, Ajax. Edited With Introduction, Revised Text, Commentary, Appendixes, Indexes and Bibliography by W.B. Stanford. Macmillan, London, 1963. LXIV,311p. Cloth. With signature from Prof. W.G. Arnott on free endpaper. Head and tail spine slightly worn. Nice copy. 'This new edition of the 'Ajax' will be extremely useful to scholars, particularly because of the very large amount of information collected in it. Professor Stanford has worked hard to assemble the results of modern scholarship on the 'Ajax' and Sophocles generally, and he manages to convey much of the gist of it, largely through the numerous appendixes, which cover the text, metre (formidably schematic, this), Sophocles' style, Ajax's third monologue, suicide in Sophocles, and so on.' (J.H. KELLS in The Classical Review (New Series), p.247). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 20.00 (Antiquarian)
