Reviews

This book is interesting, thought-provoking reading that will hopefully spur more research in this area. Slavic and East European Journal Lucid, well written, and including a good bibliography, this is impressive scholarship both in its contextual exegesis of the works and its graceful presentation of theory. Emphasis remains on the plays themselves. Recommended. Choice
