This chapter concentrates on attitudes to violence among girls in urban Scotland today. A small-scale exploratory study with girls from four localities within a major Scottish city was conducted, exploring their understandings and perceptions of violence. There was a surprising degree of moral consensus in the girls' accounts, specifically with regard to the kinds of circumstances where ‘violent’ behaviour could be regarded as wholly justified or could be excused. Name-calling and verbal criticism were considered as primary sources of anger. Additionally, girls' perceptions of aggression between siblings seemed to be different from other forms of verbal and physical ‘violence’ reported in other non-kin relationships. This preliminary study points to a more complex picture of girls' use of violence and intentionally harmful behaviour which insists that this behaviour must be placed within the context of girls' everyday lives.Less

Twenty of the author's shorter pieces first published between 1963 and 2004 (when the book was initially prepared), which emphasize textual questions, verbal criticism, dramatic form and general interpretation. They are grouped roughly under the three words of the title, and handle subjects ranging from A: phenomena general to Greek Tragedy: its demand upon students and readers; stichomythia; the fragmentary tragedian Chaeremon; the attribution of a fragmentary Pirithous-play; the textual quality of quotations in Athenaeus; review of an important select edition of fragments; through (B): some topics particular to Euripides: scribal hands in a famous manuscript; the problematic Funeral Oration in Suppliants; that play's disputed date; appreciation of a choral ode in Hecuba; specialist lexicography of the poet; reviews of the now standard critical edition of the poet; to (C): appreciations of some scholars of Tragedy and particularly Euripides prominent since the 16th Century: Dirk Canter, Joshua Barnes, Jeremiah Markland, Samuel Musgrave, Peter Elmsley, James Henry Monk, and Frederick Apthorp Paley. All pieces have been edited, revised and supplemented with notes and bibliography as far as 2006. The problems of collecting and editing fragmentary texts emerge as the author's regular interest, anticipating his concentration on this work since 1995, in five collaborative editions and some shorter studies, some of which are listed or heralded in his List of Publications at the end of the volume.Less
