"There is no dearth of specialized investigations of Aeschylean drama, but general books on Aeschylus have, in English at least, always been a rarity. "The Art of Aeschylus" is the first comprehensive discussion in English since Gilbert Murray's "Aeschylus" (1940) and George Thomson's "Aeschylus and Athens" (1941). It assembles and analyzes a great amount of material that is generally thought to be accessible only to classical scholars, and makes it available to non-specialists."
