Reviews

A welcome new edition of a pathbreaking book complete with a brilliantly incisive and thought provoking introduction that will enthuse a new generation of students. With an iconoclastic energy all too rate in academic circles, Dollimore fearlessly revalues his own project and poses questions central to the larger critical, cultural, and philosophical debates within English Studies, to which Radical Tragedy continues to make a major scholarly contribution.

Some critical studies are full of insight, but not many of them are necessary. Radical Tragedy ranks among the necessary critical interventions of our time. --Terry Eagleton, from the foreword
