{"product_id":"alcestis-gilbert-murray-9781544287454","title":"Alcestis","description":"I will not dwell on other criticisms of this type. There are those who have taken the play for a criticism of contemporary politics or the current law of inheritance. Above all there is the late Dr. Verrall's famous essay in Euripides the Rationalist, explaining it as a psychological criticism of a supposed Delphic miracle, and arguing that Alcestis in the play does not rise from the dead at all. She had never really died; she only had a sort of nervous catalepsy induced by all the \"suggestion\" of death by which she was surrounded. Now Dr. Verrall's work, as always, stands apart. Even if wrong, it has its own excellence, its special insight and its extraordinary awakening power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gilbert Murray, Euripides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1544287453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781544287454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.16d","brand":"Gilbert Murray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124774072575,"sku":"9781544287454","price":6.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9030bbb8-4812-4aeb-8d89-fd043cfce800.jpg?v=1687438754","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alcestis-gilbert-murray-9781544287454","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
