Job as Drama
November 30, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on two books "The Book of Job As a Greek Tragedy Restored," written by Horace Meyer Kallen and "A Dramatization of the Book of Job," written by James S. Steven. In "The Book of Job As a Greek Tragedy Restored," Kallen prefixes an introduction as long as the poem but differing from the common run of such writing in interest and often in brilliant implications. The keen reminder of the wide vogue of Euripides and the popularity and imitation of his drama in the theatres of every Greek community, and of the Euripidean work, in Hebraic literature, of the poet of Jewish tragedies, is highly persuasive of Kallen's main thesis.
