This book examines one of the most radical and precipitous instances in the shift in interpretation and evolution of literary works and their authors. Specifically, it focuses on the "rehabilitation" of Euripides in the late nineteenth century, including the crucial role played by the classicist and English scholar A. W. Verrall.
