Reviews

I primi tre studi sono dedicati alle assenze nell'Andromaque. Nicholas Hammond [...] illustra come l'assenza delle figure chiave di Ettore, Achille, padre di Pirro, e di Elena madre di Ermione, eserciti una forte presa simbolica sui personaggi presenti in scena che, in quanto sopravvissuti, definiscono la loro presenza in relazione ai membri assenti della loro famiglia [...] Nell'ultimo contributo [...] Joseph Harris analizza un cospicuo numero di falsi riconoscimenti genuini o finti, momenti in cui i personaggi vedono persone non fisicamente presenti o fingono di averle viste. - Monica Pavesio, in Studie Francesi, No. 193 2021 pp. 213-214
