...Medea," a five-act play, is the third member of the trilogy, "The Golden Fleece," published in 1822. It is considered by some his greatest achievement, and is certainly the best of the three plays in the trilogy. None is perhaps better suited to give an idea of Grillparzer's peculiar distinction as a dramatist than "Medea." The first two members of the trilogy, "The Guest-Friend" and "The Argonauts," are the necessary supplements of the "Medea" in order to understand fully the development of the heroine's character...

Drunkennes and vice unquestionably exist but it is a pity to have the idea of them rubbed in through the columns of the undergraduate papers. Both stories are well written; but they lead the uniformed reader to suppose that Harvard men spend their lives in an atmosphere, not morely of hilarity, but of reckless dissipation. "The Philosophy of Horatio" is almost well enough done...
