What Lochhead does is to recast Medea as an episode—ancient but new, cosmic yet agonizingly familiar—in a sex war which is recognizable to every woman, and most of the men, in the theatre..."—The Scotsman ...

Now David Ferry, the acclaimed poet and translator of Gilgamesh, has made an ...
|  | Slave Song
Publication Date: May 1, 2006Songs of frustration and defiance from African slaves and displaced Indian laborers are expressed in a harsh and lyrical Guyanese Creole far removed from contemporary English in these provocative Caribbean poems. An insightful critical apparatus of English translations surrounds these lyrics, shedding light on their meaning, while at the same time cleverly commenting on the impossibility of translating Creole and parodying critical attempts to explain and contextualize Caribbean poetry. Twenty years after the initial release of this work, the power of these poems...

|  | Salome's Modernity: Oscar Wilde and the Aesthetics of Transgression
Publication Date: April 27, 2011"Salome's Modernity is a first-class piece of scholarship---at once learned, sharply focused, and beautifully, indeed, entertainingly written. Above all, it is a significant contribution to modernist studies, for it takes a number of themes that appear in the various writings about Salome to show precisely how the various authors, performers and film-makers utilized and rethought these themes for their own times."---Herbert S. Lindenberger, Stanford University"Salome's Modernity is intellectually powerful, truly informative, and engagingly written. No other bo...
