Beskrivning

This is the first edition since its original publication of Daniel Heinsius’ Latin tragedy Auriacus, sive Libertas saucia (Orange, or Liberty Wounded, 1602), with an introduction, a parallel English translation, and a commentary. Centering on the assassination of William of Orange, one of the leaders of the Dutch Revolt against King Philip II of Spain, Auriacus was Heinsius’ history drama, with which he aimed to raise Dutch drama to the level of classical drama. Highly influential, the tragedy contributed to the construction of a national identity in the Low Countries and launched Heinsius’ long career as an internationally celebrated poet and professor at Leiden University.

Recensioner i media

“The present edition is not merely a monumental study of one hitherto overlooked crucial play by a major figure in European letters. Its aesthetic vitality and political acuity open the door to a full-scale reconsideration of early modern European drama in Latin and in the vernacular languages, and further reassessment of seventeenth-century neo-Latin verse.”Nigel Smith, Princeton University
