From the Back Cover
Sophocles. Tragoediae. In usum Scholarum The new Teubner text of Sophocles is the third edition made by R.D. Dawe of Trinity College, Cambridge. The plays now appear separately, in soft covers, at a price which makes them especially suitable for University use. The apparatus criticus records some of the many meritorious suggestions from the past, which Dr. van Paassen's collection has brought to light. The text itself has been drafted on more adventurous principles than before, to offer something smoother and more readable for the less advanced students, and something more provocative of thought for their mentors, in the belief that lively disagreement, if disagreement is called for, is more valuable than unquestioning acquiescence.

Minor staining. ; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 282 pages; 'Sophocles, in a play that won only second prize, created a masterpiece that in the eyes of posterity has overshadowed every other achievement in the field of ancient drama.

These words come from the introduction to Dr Dawe's edition of Oedipus Rex.

The commentary deals authoritatively with problems of language and expression. This is an edition for classical scholars, undergraduates, and students in the upper forms of schools.
