Publisher's Synopsis
""The Influence of Aeschylus and Euripides on the Structure and Content of Swinburne's Atalanta in Calydon and Erechtheus"" is a scholarly book written by Marion Clyde Wier and published in 1920. The book explores the influence of two ancient Greek playwrights, Aeschylus and Euripides, on the works of the Victorian poet Algernon Charles Swinburne. Specifically, Wier examines how Aeschylus' ""Agamemnon"" and Euripides' ""Ion"" influenced the structure and content of Swinburne's two plays, ""Atalanta in Calydon"" and ""Erechtheus"". Through detailed analysis of the plays, Wier argues that Swinburne borrowed heavily from the ancient Greek tragedians in terms of plot, character development, and thematic elements. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of Victorian literature and Greek drama, as well as anyone interested in the influence of classical literature on modern works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
