Scope and content

Barrytown N. Y, U.S.A. - Trevelyan's beautiful volume... Sisyphus' arrived recently; has not yet had time to read it. The 'great good nature' Trevelyan showed on 'receiving [Chapman's] remarks about [The Bride of] Dionysus' puts him at ease, 'a rare thing in writing to an author about his book', so Trevelyan 'may expect lucubrations later'. Envies the Greeks, as 'Anybody could write dramas who lived in an age when the public knew these legends'. Has Euripides in the Bohn translations, and enjoys reading him ''In spite of rather hating the sort of person he is'.
