AUTHOR
SUMMARY
The verse narrative Cawdor , set on the ruthless California coast which Jeffers knew so well, tells a simple tale: an aging widower, Cawdor, unwilling to relinquish his youth, knowingly marries a young girl who does not love him. She falls in love with his son, Hood, and the narrative unfolds in tragedy of immense proportions. 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 1940s. In Medea , Jeffers relentlessly drove toward what Ralph Waldo Emerson had called "the proper tragic element"'”terror.Jeffers, Robinson is the author of 'Cawdor/Medea A Long Poem After Euripides a New Directions Book' with ISBN 9780811200738 and ISBN 0811200736.
