Customer Reviews
The freshest treatment of a criminally understudied text
Dr Allan's perceptive study of Euripides' classic has illuminated a unjustly neglected masterpiece of Greek drama. Dr Allan shows a clear command of tragedy and its broader context which clearly marks him out as the rising star of Classics in the English world. I imagine his seminars must be fascinating as his book brings to life a topic which could have been unintelligible to the uneducated reader. It is a pleasurable read for academic and keen lay person alike. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Buy! Buy!
