Reviews

This book is a learned and sensitive exploration of the life-death contradiction and the ways in which cultures develop strategies for dealing with it. Shakespeare's plays provide a model of the way in which theatre and art are used to deal with the 'death-problem,' accommodating death in tragedy, assimilating it in comedy. (Alvin Kernan, Princeton University)
