The book is accessible to readers with no knowledge of Greek and will be essential reading for anyone interested in tragedy, especially students and specialists in classics, drama, and English literature.

Recenzje

Its twenty-nine essays are of high quality ... the readers of this demanding and highly rewarding book will close it with a heightened sense of the rich complexity of our notion of "the tragic" and new insights that will, in Michael Silk's words, "help move the process of definition and understanding forward".
