Book excerpt: Excerpt from The "Medea" Of Euripides and the "Medea" Of Grillparzer Grillparzer was the heir of all the ages between him and Euripides. He not only looked back upon the flowering time of Greek literature, but he knew Calderon, Lope de Vega, Shakespeare, Goethe, Schiller, and the writers of the romantic school. Old things had passed away, and all things had become new. There was a new heaven and a new earth in dramatic literature. The German Medea' contains about twenty-four hundred verses, or about a thousand more than the Medea of the Greek poet. It is much longer than any play of ES chylus, Sophocles, or Euripides. This is in accord with modern ideas, which allow, if they do not require, a fuller and freer treatment of dramatic material.
