Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Influence of Aeschylus and Euripides on the Structure and Content of Swinburne´s Atalanta in Calydon and Erechtheus Swinburne´s Debt Conceded. Swinburne´s debt to Greek literature is conceded by all who are competent to express an opinion on the subject. Skeptics may settle the question by a casual reading of such works as Phaedra, Itylus, Anactoria, Hymn to Proserpine, Sapphics, At Eleusis, Hymn to Man, Genesis, Teiresias, The last Oracle, To Victor Hugo, Two Leaders, The Armada, Neap-tide, Thalassius, On the Cliffs, Song for the Centenary of Walter Savage Landor, Athens, Herse, Nine Years Old, Aperotos Eros, and Nympholept. The evidence will be convincing. But in addition to these we have Atalanta in Calydon and Erechtheus, both in their technique Greek plays of a high order. Of Erechtheus Edmond Gosse says: "It is the most Greek of all the compositions of Swinburne, because it follows, with the greatest success, closely and yet vividly, the exact classical models. It is not merely Greek, but it is passionately Athenian, arid Athens is considered, not as a theme of antiquarian curiosity, but as the living symbol of the virtue of citizenship." Woodberry says of Swinburne: "He moved toward a reproduction of both the Greek and the English antique. Atalanta in Calydon was his first experiment in this way, but Erechtheus, hissecond Greek play, was more perfect in the success that it aimed at." Swinburne´s method of using Aeschylus and Euripides to facilitate the attainment of this end, it is the object of the following pages to make clear. Scholarship. Both friends and critics attest Swinburne´s scholarship,-a scholarship that not only comprehended the literature of his own and foreign languages, but extended even to a facility in the use of them as media of literary expression. "No English poet has ever had so wide and familiar acquaintance with the poetry of foreign climes. He began with a felicitous command of the classical and romance languages. He took the Taylorian prize, in his college days, for French and Italian, and won other similar distinction in the ancient tongues. He has written, as a poet, in Greek, Latin, and French with literary mastery." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
