Tirso de Molina: Don Gil of the Green Breeches
Translated with an Introduction and Commentary by Gordon Minter
Tirso de Molina enjoys enduring popularity as a writer of irreverent comedies, though his critical reputation as a major dramatist rests largely on his more serious works. Don Gil of the Green Breeches as befits a high farce is much concerned with disguise, mistaken identity, role-reversal, ghosts, and trousers! Doña Juana, jilted by her lover Don Martín, follows him to Madrid, where, under the assumed name of Don Gil, he is ...

Plutarch: Life of Cicero
edited with an introduction, translation, notes and commentary by J. L. Moles
Plutarch has always been one of the most popular Classical authors. Diversity and importance of theme, flexibility and richness of style, descriptive and narrative flair, intellectual breadth and penetration, moral seriousness allied to warmth and humanity these are some of the many sources of his appeal. His Life of Cicero is one of his greatest works. It is a valuable historical document, largely based on contemporary sources, and it preserves ...

Longus: Daphnis and Chloe
edited with an introduction, translation and commentary by J R Morgan
This edition of Daphnis and Chloe, the best known of the Greek romances, provides the first modern commentary in English on this intriguing work. This is the story of two young people growing up as goatherd and shepherdess, and their discovery of love, sex and their true selves.

Euripides: Suppliant Women
edited, with an introduction, translation and commentary by James Morwood
A group of Argive women has come to Eleusis to ask King Theseus and his city of Athens to bring about the burial of their sons who are being denied it by their Theban conquerors. Theseus is confronted with a challenge which at first he declines to take up, but then does so magnificently. The range of the play's debate is astonishing. It contains one of the Ur-texts of political theory. It explores social and religious themes. It deals with ...

Euripides: Medea
edited with introduction, translation and commentary by Judith Mossman
Jason, in exile in Corinth, is marrying the king's daughter. It looks as though his problems are over, though it's hard on Medea, who has betrayed her family for him, followed him all the way from Colchis, killed for him, and borne him two sons.

Euripides' Medea is a compelling study of love turned to hatred and a rejected woman's burning desire for revenge. Its central, shocking, act of infanticide comes as the climax of a ...

Calderon: Love is No Laughing Matter
Translated with an Introduction and Commentary by Don Cruickshank and Seán Page~
Although Calderón's comedy has received rather less attention than the other genres in which he excelled, it is widely acknowledged that his comic plays are inrivalled among his contemporaries in terms of plot structure and technical expertise; they also explore contemporary issues to an extent which has not been appreciated. Love is no Laughing Matter is one of the best, in which the dramatist casts a sardonic eye on male chauvinism, ...

Calderon: The Schism in England
Translated by Ann L. Mackenzie and Kenneth Muir~
Admired by Shelley for 'its satisfying completeness', this thought-provoking and skilfully constructed play, which dramatizes the same subject as Shakespeare's Henry VIII, is one of its creator's most outstanding achievements. Understandably, Calderón offers an interpretation of King Henry's divorce from Catherine of Aragón and break with the Church of Rome which is markedly different from that given in Shakespeare's work. Yet, ...
