Cassandra

A Dramatic Poem

Übersetzer: Murray, Nina

Beschreibung

In Lesia Ukrainkaâ s rendering, Cassandraâ s prophecies are uttered in highly poetic language and are not believed for that reason, rather than because of Apolloâ s curse. Cassandra as poet and as woman are the focal points of the drama. The strongly autobiographical Cassandra: A Dramatic Poem is presented here in a sophisticated English translation.

Autor

Lesia Ukrainka (pen name of Larysa Kosach-Kvitka, 1879-1913) was one of the most prominent Ukrainian writers, poets, playwrights, literary scholars, and activists of the late nineteenth-early twentieth century. Along with Taras Shevchenko and Ivan Franko, she forms the triumvirate of Ukrainian national poets. Ukrainka was well-known for her feminist and progressive views, which found representation in her own works.
