Wilder's The Woman of Andros Aesthetic Review
Madeleine Stern praises Thornton Wilder's The Woman of Andros as rhythmical, ancient in dignity, and simple in structure. The critique highlights Terence's Andria basis, the pale subplots, and the enigmatic love death theme centered on Pamphilus and Glycerium. The piece notes Wilder's restrained suggestiveness, Brynos as a timeless setting, and the enduring charm of the Andrian rhythm.
