Medea (Plays for Performance Series)

Really loved this.

Perfect!

Good read. Read this for an undergraduate history course.

I have two Medea from two translators.Philip Vellacott and Nicholas Rudall.I compared them and I like Dr. Rudall's translation because it is easy to readfor someone who is a high school student or ESL student.Moreover, the language that Dr. Rudall uses is modern and it "gives individual characters specific speech patters (as Euripides surely did). Medea is quick, deeply ironic, occasionally morbidly funny, and capable of passions ranging from seething anger to weeping regret. Jason is a politician. He speaks well and lies--perhaps believing that he speaks the truth."Moreover, I'd like to have a thin and pocket book to carry so I chose to keep this copy.
