Paperback. Condition: New. New softcover in printed wraps. 8vo. 6 x 0.78 x 9 inches) Clean text free of marks or underlining. Includes a bibliography and an index. 310 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Alcibiades (ca. 450 BC-ca. 404 BC), was the charismatic and controversial bisexual Athenian general and politician who promoted the Peloponnesian war against rival Sparta, who subsequently inspired Athens's failed Sicilian Expedition, and who later allied himself with two of Athens's biggest enemies: Sparta and Persia. His actions gravely affected the future of Athens and his motives and reasons for acting as he did are indeed the stuff of fascinating biography. Alcibiades's extraordinary beauty, great wealth, ostentatious vanity, male and female amours, debaucheries, and impious revels earned him notoriety not only in Athens but throughout the Hellenic world. In subsequent ages his name was used as a near by-word for all kinds of excess. But, as Benson argues, reappraising Alcibiades's reputation, great as were his vices, his virtues were even greater . Although The Life of Alcibiades was originally published in 1928, and there have been other newer detailed works published on Alcibiades since then, no other work captures the passion and the excitement of the brilliant but erratic career of Alcibiades as Benson's biography does. As the reader will discover, Benson evidently has much sympathy for his subject and this brings the entire biography to life. He combines detailed research, especially his use of primary materials from Thucydides and Plutarch, with writing flare, not an easy accomplishment.

See the various entries in the Oxford DNB. Typed carbon copy. 1p, foolscap 8vo. Text complete, on aged piece of carbon paper, worn and chipped at edges. No signature. Addressed at foot to 'E. F. Benson Esq.' Thirty-one lines of text. He begins by stating that Benson, in his 'work on Charlotte Brontë', has 'made a very correct study of her'. After discussing a point about Branwell Bronte, he states: 'We cannot rely on Charlotte's assertion that he knew nothing whatever of their ventures in publishing. I am just busy preparing the "Life and Letters" for the Shakespeare Head edition, and have found from Charlotte's letters and other associated facts that she did not always tell the truth.' She describes the 'most glaring instance', concerning 'her references to Balzac's works', and adds that there are ' other instances of deceit in her correspondence with Ellen Nussey'. In the final paragraph he states that his 'old friend Mr. C. W. Hatfield [of the Bronte Society] will not hear a wrong word about Charlotte, and pleads with me to modify my editorial notes concerning the influence of Branwell, whilst my colleagues and editorial chief T. J. Wise is quite impartial, though he would like Charlotte's reputation upheld. In consequence of this I am venturing to send you the introductory portion (in rough galley form) of Chapter XIV in "Life and Letters" which I have headed "The Influence of Branwell." I wonder if you would be good enough to look this over and give me your opinion and criticism of it.'.…
