About this book
John Stuart Blackie began his verse translation of Æschylus in 1837-8, finished it in 1846 and spent several more years revising it before it appeared in 1850. Carlyle helped look for a London publisher, and Professor Aytoun suggested the rhymed choruses. This edition has an introduction by Ernest Rhys, an essay on the genius and character of Greek tragedy, and a life of Æschylus. The seven plays follow, from Agamemnon to The Persians, each with introductory remarks and notes.
