First edition of this translation, inscribed For Mrs B. Hodge with Mrs Bennett s kind regards on the half-title. The drama of Iphigenia in Tauris is generally considered as Goethe s masterpiece. It is styled, by his illustrious countryman, Schlegel, an echo of Greek song … As a proof of the high estimation in which Iphigenia in Tauris is held by the Germans, it may be mentioned that it was performed at the Theatre of Weimar on Goethe s eightieth birthday, as the highest tribute that could be offered to the poet s genius (Preface, dated Sidmouth, 17 October 1850). Goedeke IV/III, 266, VII, d; Morgan 2911; Oswald, p. 51; Speck 1574. 12mo (185 × 110 mm) in half-sheets, pp. [8], 200, [2]; leaves lightly toned; original blind-stamped cloth, spine lettered gilt, headcap chipped, spine and upper edge of the boards darkened.
