Commentary on Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics (review)
lending the legitimacy of the Bard to the French plays. One wonders if the introduction had been written by a scholar of French Renaissance theater, would the plays have been championed for their own sake rather than for connections to much-studied English Renaissance dramas? Hillman does attempt a certain amount of this, but ultimately falls back on the English connection, somewhat ironically stating that “scholars inevitably remain imprisoned within the myths they reject” (17). These are minor points; Hillman’s translations are delightful, and make this edition a useful discussion text for a course in the history of France or the Reformation, as well as theater history or literature.
