Seneca: Medea (Companions To Greek And Roman Tragedy)

Sketches the essentials of Seneca's play and at the same time situates it within an interpretive tradition. It also uses Medea to illustrate key features of Senecan dramaturgy, the way in which language functions as a mode of theatrical representation and the way in which individuals are embedded in their surrounding conditions, resonating dissonantly with the principles of Roman Stoicism. The book interweaves some of the play's subsequent receptions, theatrical and textual, into critical analysis of Medea as dramatic poetry
