Book Synopsis

Review Quotes

"The language of Medea is full of vacillation." --Michael Kuckwara, The Birmingham News

"Rudall features a sharp, vivid precision edge...immediate and accessible." --Chicago Sun-Times

"Accessible, but not prosaic, vivid but not overstated, poetic but not inflated...Rudall has done an excellent job." --Chicago Tribune

"A spare, contemporary translation." --Julie York Coppens, South Bend Tribune

"Rudall's text...admirably recasts Euripides' play in modern American English.... Rudall avoids all the annoying, dusty Victorianisms of 19th century translators." --Chicago Reader
