Description:Helios House Press is honoured to present a beautiful, original adaptation of Euripides’ classic play, Alcestis, as interpreted by Sonia H. Greene & H.P. Lovecraft.First premiered in 438 B.C., Alcestis is an Athenian tragedy of sacrifice, love, and loss. Whilst a very limited, holograph (facsimile of hand-written pages) edition of Greene and Lovecraft’s version of the play was produced in 1985, the play has never been published in a complete form—until now. Complementing Greene and Lovecraft's Alcestis—which includes an entirely original prologue—this beautiful, casebound volume contains an important introductory essay by Lovecraft researcher Dr N.R. Jenzen-Jones and classics scholar Dr Carman Romano. In addition to providing essential historical and cultural context for both the original work and the adaptation, the introduction closely examines the evidence in support of joint attribution of Alcestis to Greene and Lovecraft, discusses their collaboration on this and other works, and identifies avenues for future research.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
