Reviews

`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"".' Times Literary Supplement `Thanks to careful editing and cross-referencing, as well as a comprehensive bibliography, it possesses more coherence than many conference proceedings and offers the reader a broad survey of contemporary thinking ... about Greek tragedy and 'the tragic'.' Theatre Research International, vol.22, no.1 `Michael Silk has edited the proceedings into a coherent volume that preserves much of the vitality of the original occasion ... succeeds admirably.' New England Classical Journal `Silk deserves commendation for editing this volume which will certainly further an understanding of tragedy from European perspectives. It will especially appeal to general readers and specialists in Classical studies and English Literature.' Religious Studies Review
