Alan H. Sommerstein is Professor of Greek, University of Nottingham.
Alan Sommerstein’s three-volume Aeschylus… is in many respects the
best critical edition of this playwright available in any format.
Sommerstein’s authority as a linguist and expert in Aeschylean
drama is second to none, and he has provided an up-to-date and
carefully constituted text for the seven surviving plays, plus all
of the fragmentary remains that are at least one line long.
Important manuscript variants and modern conjectures are
scrupulously recorded (making the page a little cluttered, but
clear enough); and in addition he has provided copious notes,
fuller and more numerous than is normal for a Loeb, on matters of
myth, geography, history and interpretation.
