Opis

The extensive performance history of Euripides' Medea since the Renaissance underscores its lasting social and political relevance. Here, papers drawn from an interdisciplinary colloquium hosted at Somerville College by the University of Oxford's Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama in August 1998 are augmented by additional essays from specialists. The contributors to this important volume include Ian Christie, David Gowne, Edith Hall, Fiona Macintosh, Platon Mavromoustakos, Marianne McDonald, Diane Purkiss, Margaret Reynolds, Mae Smethurst, Eva Stehlikova, Oliver Taplin, and Olga Taxidou."
