Euripides and the Language of Craft

Mary Stieber, Ph.D. in Classical Archaeology, Princeton University, is Associate Professor of Art History at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. She is the author of The Poetics of Appearance in the Attic Korai (Texas, 2004).

"Euripides and the Language of Craft is a long, extremely thorough, and overall successful study. Its results will be valuable to Euripidean scholars, more so to the specialist than to the novice. [...] this book advances and deepens our understanding of Euripidean language and poetic technique, and of the world in which Euripides lived and that inspired him. Mary Stieber is to be thanked for crossing disciplinary boundaries by bringing her art-historical and archaeological expertise to the study of Euripides, a poet most suitable for this kind of treatment, as this book makes clear.
