1712Two Plays bound together: 162 p. Continuous pagination. Early ownership of J. Waldier, 1774, on first title page. Bottom margin of The Funeral title page clipped. 12 mo. 155mm. Virtually disbound. This perhaps should best be considered a candidate for rebinding. Sir Richard Steele (ca. 1672-1729), was a famed english author and politician. The Funeral (first produced in 1702), with its patriotic motifs, apparently attracted the favourable attention of the King himself. The Tender Husband, a comedy, had a brief initial run in April 1705. It returned to Drury Lane for performances later in the year and remained a staple of the London stage repertory for many decades, without remuneration for the author. It is significant that Steele did not have another new play produced until many years later when he was a partner in the Drury Lane management and thus able to reap rewards both as author and as manager - DNB.

Publisher's full burgundy cloth silver lettering on spine with gilt tooling blind-stamped hobby-horse medallion on cover top edge red red endpapers. Translated from the German by David Anthony Palastranga. Hildegard Frieda Albertine Knef 1925 2002 was a German actress singer and writer. During her career she performed in over 50 films. Nineteen of her films were produced in countries other than Germany: the United States United Kingdom France Italy Austria and Spain. In 1955 Knef was offered a starring role in the Broadway musical Silk Stockings by Cole Porter which was based on the 1939 film Ninotchka which had starred Greta Garbo in the title role. Knef had acted in at least 30 films in the United States and Europe but her triumph came in New York when she played Ninotchka an unemotional Soviet commissar.

1995Very minor shelfwear to book and DJ. ; Mnemosyne, Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum; 255 pages; The Gorgon's Severed Head looks at three plays of Euripides, one early, one middle and one late in his career. Innovations in genre, in the use of the traditional stories, in the representation of women and of gender issues are present at every period. In all three plays characters are depicted creating themselves and each other. Chapter One on Alcestis looks at the artistry of the two main characters and is especially concerned with finding a role for Admetus, the play's most serious problem. The second chapter treats the physical displacement of the myth in Euripides' version of the Electra-Orestes story. A last section approaches the layers of time and space in Phoenissae.
