About This Item
Ithaca, NY Cornell University Press, 1986. Paperback First Edition; Second Printing, with Corrections [1991]. Near Fine in Wraps: just a hint of wear to the front corner tips; the mildest rubbing; binding square and secure; text clean. Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 116pp. Translated by Frederick Ahl. (Masters of Latin Literature Series). First Edition; Second Printing, with Corrections [1991]. University Press Paperback. Ahl's translation of this classic Senecan tragedy will gratify and challenge readers and performers. With stage performance specifically in mind, Ahl renders Seneca's dramatic force in a modern idiom and style that move easily between formality and colloquialism as the text demands, and he strives to reproduce the richness of the original Latin, to retain the poetic form, images, wordplays, enigmas, paradoxes, and dark humor of Seneca's tragedies. In this powerful and imaginative translation of Medea, Frederick Ahl retains the compelling effects of the monologues, as well as the special feeling and pacing of Seneca's choruses.
