William Nickerson Bates manuscripts on Euripides and Sophocles, 1929-1930, circa 1940 (inclusive)

Extent:: 0.4 linear feet (1 box)
Abstract:: William Nickerson Bates (1867-1949) was a professor of Greek Language and Literature at the University of Pennsylvania from 1895 to 1939.

The volumes, Euripides, a student of Human Nature and Sophocles serve to acquaint the modern reader (one with little or no knowledge of ancient Greek) with the original meaning of the plays since, as Bates stated, no work had theretofore been published for such readers that dealt directly with the original Greek texts.
