Harvard University Press, 1998 12mo (18 cm), viii, 408 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "Aristophanes of Athens (ca. 446–386 BCE), one of the world's greatest comic dramatists, has been admired since antiquity for his iridescent wit and beguiling fantasy, exuberant language, and brilliant satire of the social, intellectual, and political life of Athens at its height. He wrote at least forty plays, of which eleven have survived complete. In this new Loeb Classical Library edition of Aristophanes, Jeffrey Henderson presents a freshly edited Greek text and a lively, unexpurgated translation with full explanatory notes. The general introduction that begins Volume I reviews Aristophanes' career and brings current scholarly insights to bear on the intriguing question of the comic poet as a political force. In Acharnians a small landowner, tired of the Peloponnesian War, magically arranges a personal peace treaty and, borrowing a disguise from Euripides, demonstrates the… Read More

Secker and Warburg, 2002 8vo (24 cm), [6], 522 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. From the blurb: "Eco returns to the Middle Ages with Baudolino - a wondrous, provocative, beguiling tale of history, myth, and invention. It is April, 1204, and Constantinople, the splendid capital of the Byzantine Empire, is being sacked and burned by the knights of the fourth Crusade. Amid the carnage and confusion, one Baudolino saves a Byzantine historian and high court official from certain death at the hands of the crusading warriors, and proceeds to tell his own fantastical story. Born a simple peasant in northern Italy, Baudolino has two major gifts - a talent for learning foreign languages and skill in telling lies. One day, when still a boy, he met a foreign commander in the woods, charming him with his quick wit and lively mind. The commander - who proves to be the emperor Frederick Barbarossa - adopts Baudolino and sends him to the university in Paris, where he makes a number of fearless,… Read More

Loosely inserted separately printed errata. "David Gilson's bibliography was at first intended as revised edition of Sir Geoffrey Keynes's 1929 Nonesuch Press bibliography of the novelist, but while retaining and expanding the original book's basic structure it is yet in most respect a new work. The description of original editions, first American editions, and 19th-century translations attempt to follow principles laid down in Gaskell's 'A new introduction to bibliography', adding where possible quotation of contemporary comments and details of sale-room records."
