Paperback. Condition: Good. Sophoclesâ play, first staged in the 5th century B.C., stands as a timely exploration of the conflict between those who affirm the individualâs human rights and those who must protect the stateâs security. After the War of the Seven Against Thebes, Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus, learns that her brothers have killed each other, having been forced onto opposing sides of the battle, When Creon, king of Thebes, grants burial to one but not the âtreacherousâ other, Antigone defies his order, believing it her duty to bury all of her close kin. Enraged. Creon condemns her to death, and his soldiers wall her up in a tomb. While Creon eventually agrees to Antigoneâs release, it is too late: in a tragic repetition of events in her familyâs history, she takes her own life. 79p.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The greatest of the late medieval Scots makers, Robert Henryson was influenced by their vision of the frailty and pathos of human life, and by the inherited poetic example of Geoffrey Chaucer. Henrysonâs finest poem, and one of the rhetorical masterpieces of Scots literature, is the narrative Testament of Cresseid. Set in the aftermath of the Trojan War, the Testament completes the story of Chaucerâs Troilus and Criseyde, offering a tragic account of its faithless heroineâs rejection by her lover, Diomede, and of her subsequent decline into prostitution and leprosy. Written in Middle Scots, a distinctive northern version of English, the Testament has been translated by Seamus Heaney into a confident but faithful idiom that matches the original verse form and honors the poetâs unique blend of detachment and compassion. Also a comic master of the verse fable, Henrysonâs burlesques of human weakness in the guise of animal wisdom are delicately pointed with irony. Heaney here sparklingly translates seven of the Fables; their freshness rendered to the last claw and feather. 183p.

He then returns to his own country and dies in old age in a vivid fight against a dragon. The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, and then having to live on in the exhausted aftermath. In the contours of this story, at once remote and uncannily familiar at the beginning of the twenty~first century, Seamus Heaney finds a resonance that summons power to the poetry from deep beneath its surface. Drawn to what he has called the "four~squareness of the utterance" in Beowulf and its immense emotional credibility, Heaney gives these epic qualities new and convincing reality for the contemporary reader.
