In the Wake of Medea considers how violence shapes a panoply of major and minor works in the classical canon. Using Corneille's Medee as a template, then working with authors diverse as Rotrou and Fontenelle, Juliette Cherbuliez sorts through conflicted expression of incertitude, anger and contrition. Written with force and elegance, this timely study unsettles and inspires -- Tom Conley, Harvard University Cherbuliez's attention to the psychopolitical resonance of theatrical materiality is a thrill. This gripping account will appeal to readers unfamiliar with French tragedy but interested in its wider implications. -- Katherine Ibbett, University of Oxford
