With signature from Prof. W.G. Arnott on free endpaper. 'This book (...) is 'the first in a series inaugurated to meet the increasing demand for editions of classical texts which are concerned as much with literary content as with linguistic and textual problems. The main emphasis in Professor Webster's commentary is on explaining the impact of the play through metre and language rather than on the examination and comparison of points of grammatical and syntactical usage. (...) The book contains a sketch of the history of the text and the main facts about the manuscripts by Mrs. P.E. Easterling which is clear, lively and accurate, and might interest even those who are afraid of textual problems.' (H. LLOYD-JONES in The Classical Review (New Series), 1972, p.102).

Arnott on free endpaper. Head and tail spine slightly worn. Nice copy. 'This new edition of the 'Ajax' will be extremely useful to scholars, particularly because of the very large amount of information collected in it. Professor Stanford has worked hard to assemble the results of modern scholarship on the 'Ajax' and Sophocles generally, and he manages to convey much of the gist of it, largely through the numerous appendixes, which cover the text, metre (formidably schematic, this), Sophocles' style, Ajax's third monologue, suicide in Sophocles, and so on.'
