Richard Porson Bücher

Kaum eine Frauengestalt des antiken Mythos ist bis heute so lebendig wie die der Medea. Der Stoff von der Frau, die in ihrem Rachebedürfnis zum Äußersten geht, ist seit der Antike zahllose Male aufgegriffen und bearbeitet worden. Am Anfang dieser unvergleichlichen Rezeptionskette steht Euripides Drama, das im Jahre 431 v. Chr. erstmals aufgeführt wurde und für uns die älteste erhaltene Fassung der Geschichte darstellt – ein unausweichliches Stück Literatur für alle, die sich mit der Medea-Gestalt auseinandersetzen.

This satirical work by Alexander Pope is a parody of his own poem, 'Eloisa to Abelard'. It was published anonymously in 1730 and caused a sensation at the time.

Recollections of the Table-Talk of Samuel Rogers is a delightful collection of anecdotes and witticisms from one of the most famous literary salons of the early 19th century.

This edition includes commentary and analysis from leading literary scholars.

This work presents a series of letters responding to Archdeacon Travis's defense of the Three Heavenly Witnesses, a controversial biblical passage. The author engages critically with theological arguments, addressing key issues of doctrine and scriptural interpretation. As an unchanged reprint of the original 1790 edition, it offers readers historical insights into early debates on biblical texts and the nature of Christian belief. The letters reflect the rigor of theological discourse during that period.
