Book Description
Excerpt from Illustrations of the Tragedies of Aeschylus and Sophocles, From the Greek, Latin, and English Poets: With an Introductory Essay Being sensible that the work which I now offer to the public is more confined in its objects than most publications connected with classical literature, and that though thus limited, its extent is likely to prove greater than the object in the eyes of many may appear to deserve, I think it desirable to say a few words in its defence, and to state some of the considerations which have induced me to hazard its reception by the classical reader. Having done this, I will offer a few remarks, which I have been led to make during the progress of the work: I prefer throwing these into the form of an Introduction, and so disposing of them at once, rather than scattering them at intervals throughout the work; so that the succeeding numbers may be - what they profess to be - collections of parallel passages. These remarks will chiefly have reference to two subjects. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
From Gerald Ford's preemptive pardon of Richard Nixon and Donald Trump's claims that as president he could pardon himself to the posthumous royal pardon of Alan Turing, the power of the pardon has a powerful hold on the political and cultural imagination. In Theaters of Pardoning, Bernadette Meyler traces the roots of contemporary understandings of pardoning to tragicomic "theaters of pardoning" in the drama and politics of seventeenth-century England. Shifts in how pardoning was represented on the stage and discussed in political tracts and in Parliament reflected the transition from a more monarchical and judgment-focused form of the concept to an increasingly parliamentary and legislative vision of sovereignty. Meyler shows that on the English stage, individual pardons of revenge subtly transformed into more sweeping pardons of revolution, from Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, where a series of final pardons interrupts what might otherwise have been a cycle of revenge, to later works like John Ford's The Laws of Candy and Philip Massinger's The Bondman, in which the exercise of mercy prevents the overturn of the state itself. In the political arena, the pardon as a right of kingship evolved into a legal concept, culminating in the idea of a general amnesty, the "Act of Oblivion," for actions taken during the English Civil War. Reconceiving pardoning as law-giving effectively displaced sovereignty from king to legislature, a shift that continues to attract suspicion about the exercise of pardoning. Only by breaking the connection between pardoning and sovereignty that was cemented in seventeenth-century England, Meyler concludes, can we reinvigorate the pardon as a democratic practice.
