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 *
