About this book
In Lesia Ukrainka’s rendering, Cassandra’s prophecies are uttered in highly poetic language and are not believed for that reason, rather than because of Apollo’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.
Reviews
One of Ukrainka’s many significant poetic dramas… She is a forgotten feminist icon of European culture who needs to be rediscovered and read.

[Ukrainka] is a master of filigree, a perfect form. Her texts are complex, bold and rich in sound…I think that [her] texts are the pinnacle of European modernist drama.
