Book synopsis

Excerpt from Corneille's Horace: Edited, With Introduction and Notes This edition is an attempt to do for a classical French play what has long been done for the works of Greek and Latin dramatists, and recently for those of some English writers. It would be ungracious and is unnecessary to say more of existing editions of Horace in England than that I am not aware of any constructed on the same principle as this. The Prolegomena will, it is hoped, give all the informa tion necessary for the proper literary study of the play and author: the Notes are intended to elucidate the text, and especially to point out what is remarkable in its language. The possession of Dictionaries and Grammars being pres supposed, trivial information is not attempted in these Notes, nor will there be found much translation. A certain amount of literary comment has been given, and some has been borrowed from Voltaire, Palissot, and other commentators. For this the Variorum Edition of Lefevre has been found very useful. That of M. Marty-laveaux, however, has been chieży relied on for the text and for linguistic comment. The constitution of the text of Corneille is a matter of no great difficulty, the edition of 1682 representing the poet's deliberate judgment. It is, however, not well printed, and therefore cannot be followed exactly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
