Abstract

The Berlin-based literary scholar Inge Stephan interprets an impressive panorama of the treatments of Medea in literature, the visual arts, film, and music. In her book on Medea reception in the twentieth century, Stephan traces the numerous modern artistic approaches to this quite provocative female figure of antiquity in a highly differentiated and thought-provoking manner.
