In this edition of Sophocles' Electra, one of the greatest tragedies in Greek or any literature, Mr Keels presents the play as a study in revenge, but in a subtle way whose meaning depends upon the continuous use of dramatic irony. He relates the confrontations of principle and character depicted to the social and political controversies of the period in which Sophocles was writing. The introduction describes the background to the play, explains some of the main features of Sophocles' style, and outlines an interpretation which is fully worked out in the detailed commentary. There are appendices on metre and the text. The edition is intended for use by senior school and undergraduate students, and all those concerned to read and appreciate the play in the original.

To Americans living in the early twentieth century, E. H. Harriman was as familiar a name as J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, and Andrew Carnegie. Like his fellow businessmen, Harriman (1847-1909) had become the symbol for an entire industry: Morgan stood for banking, Rockefeller for oil, Carnegie for iron and steel, and Harriman for railroads. Here, Maury Klein offers the first in-depth biography in more than seventy-five years of this influential yet surprisingly understudied figure. A Wall Street banker until age fifty, Harriman catapulted into the railroad arena in 1897, gaining control of the Union Pacific Railroad as it emerged from bankruptcy and successfully modernizing every aspect of its operation. He went on to expand his empire by acquiring large stakes in other railroads,... Less

Very few examples of medieval Arabic drama have survived, a fact which constitutes a serious loss to our knowledge of Arab literary history. However, we can form some idea of the kind of work of which we have been deprived by examining the three shadow plays preserved for us, those of Ibn Daniyal, the thirteenth century poet and wit. These three plays display in all their vitality, directness and even coarseness the kind of entertainment popular in medieval Egypt. They are literary, social and historical documents, unique of their kind, presenting a veritable gallery of characters, high and low, from all sides of Egyptian life. This edition offers for the first time the complete text, edited over a long period by a number of scholars and provided with a critical apparatus. The language... Less

A master of watercolor technique, Timothy J. Clark (b. 1951) imbues his paintings with an unmistakable sense of place, conveying the very essence of each of his subjects. Timothy J. Clark is the first book to trace the stages of the artist's career, setting his work within the context of contemporary American art. Clark's watercolor and oil paintings of sacred and domestic spaces, his still lifes, portraits, and landscapes, can seem to belong to an earlier, classic school of painting, but as art historian Lisa E. Farrington notes in the essay presented here, these are not just "pretty pictures; they are diffidently profound documents of human existence." Farrington speaks of Clark's "almost uncanny ability to infuse rudimentary and inert objects...with something akin to a human... Less
