Summary
This volume is part of a famous 19th-century educational initiative. It bridges Victorian England with the biting political satire of ancient Athens. This book is not a straightforward, cover-to-cover translation of ancient plays; instead, it is a scholarly introduction, summary, and analysis written for the general Victorian public.
