Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A collection of the plays of one of the great Greek playrightsMenander (c. 341-291 BC) was the foremost innovator of Greek New Comedy, a dramatic style that moved away from the fantastical to focus upon the problems of ordinary Athenians. This collection contains the full text of 'Old Cantankerous' (Dyskolos), the only surviving complete example of New Comedy, as well as fragments from works including 'The Girl from Samos' and 'The Rape of the Locks', all of which are concerned with domestic catastrophes, the hazards of love and the trials of family life. Written in a poetic style regarded by the ancients as second only to Homer, these polished works - profoundly influential upon both Roman playwrights such as Plautus and Terence, and the wider Western tradition - may be regarded as the first true comedies of manners. Describes the background of Menander's plays, and provides notes along with new translations of more than fifteen of his plays. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Magazine. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Offered is the October 20, 1892 (Vol. IX No. 16) issue of "Twentieth Century: A Weekly Radical Magazine" edited by Joseph Fitzgerald (J. [James] W. Sullivan served as Associate Editor) and published by The Humboldt Publishing Company out of New York City. A magazine measuring 9" by 12-1/4" and containing 24 pages including front and rear covers. With eight pages of vintage advertisements, contents of this issue include: Editorial by Joseph Fitzgerald (on various subjects, including "Rome's Practical Politics"; "The [John Greenleaf] Whittier Cult"; "The Gospel in Uganda"; "Spiking Tolstoi's Guns" ["A writer in the New York 'Independent' (Evangelical) virtually throws the New Testament overboard as a safe or sufficient guide for those who would lead a truly godly life. To the influence of the New Testament he refers 'the modern gospel of sentiment and gush,' and 'the numberless illusions, delusions, and tolerable or intolerable caprices that have vexed the Church.' The New Testament is ill-balanced and needs as a corrective and protection against its extravagance and its caprices the 'sobriety' of the Old. That is to say, when the New Testament (that is Jesus Christ) teaches such 'other-worldliness' as non-resistance, love of poverty, implicit trust in Providence for the supply of necessaries, etc., such glittering impracticabilities - such as rot and laligag - are to be corrected by substituting in their place the hard common sense of the older books"]; "Cahenslyism"); poem "The Second Coming" by Miles Menander Dawson; "Patriotism" by labor activist and feminist Clara Dixon Davidson; "Individual Liberty" by American Anarchist Lizzie M. Holmes; "'Why We Must Have the Church'" by Clinton Loveridge; "Is Homestead Portentous of a General Class War?" by J. W.
