Excerpt from The Book of Job as a Greek TragedyThe present work is the record and result of re¿ec tions to which I was compelled by an enduring curiosity about the origin, character, and significance of the false, but very powerful and very ironic tradition con cerning the life and labor of the children of Israel. This curiosity has driven me into many fields where I am the merest amateur and worse, and into others where the most expert is equally with the uninitiate a Childe Roland at the Dark Tower. Such guidance as was possible for me I owe to the kindness and tolerant sym pathy of Professor George Foot Moore, whose great minded scholarship treats even tyros as if they mattered.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
