"Here for a new generation of readers and students are two major poetic works of Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962).

Medea is a verse adaptation of Euripides' drama and was created especially for the actress Judith Anderson. Their combined genius made the play one of the outstanding successes of the 1940's.
