Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from School Lectures on the Electra of Sophocles and Macbeth
IN this book are two sets of lectures, given at Shrews bury to the sixth form. Each set has a tragedy for its subject: the first, the Electra of Sophocles; the second, Macbeth.' It seems to me that the method which I have used is very suitable to all books which are read at schools. I suppose that all boys are too apt to think of school books, whether they are in Latin, Greek, or English, as containing nothing which can amuse or please; and feeling this I have taken two plays, and tried to show the effect which it seems to me they are intended to produce.
