EDITORS’ PREFACE
These two volumes of papers constitute a belated tribute to the memory of Professor T.B.L.
Webster by former pupils, colleagues and friends. The work of many who would fall within
these categories is not included: for some, like the recipient, are sadly no longer with us; others
felt unable to contribute though they wished the project well; yet more we, as editors, may
have failed to invite and to them we offer our sincere apology that they were omitted in the
initial marathon task of listing all possible contributors world-wide. The international range of
those who have contributed may serve to illustrate the task we faced and perhaps to excuse our
oversights.
Despite the lapse of a dozen years since Tom Webster’s death and his own expressed disdain
for hefty Festschriften and Memorial Volumes, we have nonetheless felt the compilation of this
collection a pleasurable act of pietas. It was an act we undertook for two main reasons.
Tom’s prolific scholarly output (a list of writings appears in volume I) ranged
broadly but had such marked central coherence in the fields of ancient drama and the
relationships between Greek Art and literature that any collection in his honour seemed likely
to preserve a matching coherence. Such has largely proved the case, though contributors have
been free to write in other areas. This Tom would himself have approved; for so wide and
voracious was his reading and so remarkably retentive his memory, that his sympathetic
understanding, his urbane and kindly advice, his always perspicacious observations were
willingly and tirelessly made available to all, whatever the field of their academic endeavours.
Had Tom’s scholarship been the primary reason for our celebration, we might gladly and
humbly have allowed his œuvre to stand as its own memorial. But that formidable output was
only part of the man. We wished also to recall the humane and inspired leadership he provided
to colleagues, the devoted inspirational teaching and encouragement he offered to his students,
and those brilliant entrepreneurial abilities which immeasurably advanced the study of classics
in many areas and enhanced, changed — sometimes virtually created — the careers of many
whose tributes are presented in the following pages.
The first volume of papers covers topics which are primarily literary, many of them
concerned with Greek and Roman drama or early Greek poetry. The second includes papers
which concern archaeology or art, particularly its relation to literature. The memoir and list of
Webster’s writings will be found only in Volume I.
We would like to express our gratitude for financial assistance with publication to the Henry
Brown fund of the Institute of Classical Studies, London; to the T.B.L. Webster fund of
Stanford University, California; and to a third donor who has preferred anonymity. Professors
Mark Edwards and Eric Handley have been generous in their advice and encouragement; the
latter, in particular undertook responsibility for putting the summa manus to the paper by the
late Sir Eric Turner. For the assistance of Alicia Totolos and Margaret Packer at the Institute of
Classical Studies, and for the painstaking editorial work of Kim Richardson, we are deeply
grateful.
vi EDITORS’ PREFACE
To those friends, colleagues and former pupils of Tom Webster who have offered their
papers, patiently awaited their appearance and encouraged the project in other ways, we are
much indebted.
Above all, we thank Tom himself for very many kindnesses, for his inspiration, and his
example.
