No. I. A STUDY OF THE BACCHAE OF EURIPIDES. By G. NORWOOD, M.A., Assistant Lecturer in Classics. Demy 8vo, pp. xx, 188. 5s. net. (Publication No. 31, 1908.)
"The interest of Mr. Norwood's book, which ... is a very welcome addition to the bibliography of Euripides, and a scholarly and interesting piece of work, displaying erudition and insight beyond the ordinary, lies in the way in which, by applying Dr. Verrall's methods ... he first shows up difficulties and inconsistencies, some of which have hardly been noticed before ... and then produces his own startling theory, which he claims is the great solvent of all the perplexities."--_Saturday Review_.
"Unless very strong evidence can be produced against Mr. Norwood's view, it must be accepted as the true solution of the problem.... Mr. Norwood is generally clear, and abounds in illuminating thoughts. He has added a full bibliography (running to twenty-three pages) of writings on Euripides, and for this every scholar will offer his sincere thanks.... He has done a very good piece of work."--_Athenæum_.
"This volume forms the first of a Classical Series projected by the Manchester University, who are to be congratulated on having begun with a book so original and full of interest.... It is admirably argued, and is instinct with a sympathetic imagination. It is, at the very least, an extremely able attempt to solve a very complex problem."--_Manchester Guardian_.
"Mr. Norwood demonstrates on every page his scholarship and knowledge, and gives proof of much painstaking research. The treatise is as valuable as it is interesting."--_Manchester City News_.
"It is a most ingenious theory, and a reviewer whom it has left unconvinced is all the more bound to give his testimony to the consistent skill, learning, and independence of judgment with which it is presented. The book ... strikes us as the product of vigorous and independent thought."--_Times_.
"Mr. Norwood's learned and ingenious argument."--_Westminster Gazette_.
"Mr. Norwood's proposed solution, though novel, is extremely plausible."--_Sheffield Daily Telegraph_.
"Lovers of Euripides may not be convinced by his subtle argument, but they will certainly find his book suggestive and stimulating."--_Daily News_.
