Reviews

  • 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
