“Traverses a range of methodological approaches and historical contexts in an attempt to provide an overview of what is substantially a characteristically ‘western’ art form. Expertly edited Companion.” (Notes and Queries, December 2009) “These essays, as would be expected from their authors, manifest a high standard of scholarship and familiarity with current understandings.... The volume has a place on the desk of every reference librarian at the college and university level." (Bryn Mawr Classical Review)“The arrangement of the contents and an index that provides coverage of all the essays, allows immediate targeting of specific topics and quick referencing, whilst in its entirety the book provides an excellent survey of tragedy as it is currently studied. Aimed primarily at undergraduates and useful to postgraduates needing to orientate themselves in the scholarship of this area, this title is a useful addition to the academic library.” (Reference Reviews)
