Recenzje

'Curtis Perry's Shakespeare and Senecan Tragedy is a rich, complex and thought provoking book that breaks new ground in Shakespeare studies … manages to reorient many of the critical issues that have been central to modern and contemporary scholarly discussions of Shakespeare, thereby producing brilliant results and providing a hugely valuable contribution to Shakespeare and early modern studies, as well as classical reception studies.' Domenico Lovascio, Early Modern Literary Studies
