"Sarah Annes Brown and Catherine Silverstone have assembledfourteen essays that adopt a 'transhistorical' approach in theiredited collection, Tragedy in Transition. Although not centred inearly modern drama, Jonson, John Ford, and especially Shakespeareare prominently featured in this superb, wide-ranging volume thatextends chronologically from Sophocles to filmmaker QuentinTarentino." (Studies in English Literature, July 2009) "[It] was first voiced in 1961, that the twentieth century saw'the death of tragedy' ... .We can swallow this whole or attendto other, more meliorist perspectives--offered by Sarah AnnesBrown and Catherine Silverstone in another timely collection ofessays, Tragedy in Transition." (Times LiterarySupplement, January 2009) "Setting the agenda for further research of this type." (TheClassical Review, 2009)"These timely and compelling essays address a remarkablerange of texts and topics from Sophocles and Shakespeare toTarantino and Kane, most notably the trauma of indeterminateidentity, of crossing boundaries and being caught in between times,so central to thinking about tragedy now." -Adrian Poole, University of Cambridge 'The subject of tragedy is at once intimidating and well-worn.All credit then to the editors for having commissioned a variedcollection of essays that breaks fresh ground and makes unexpectedconnections. Contributors are not afraid to ask large questions,for example about the transcultural appeal of tragedy or itscompatibility with the postmodern condition. There is an emphasison enriching intertextualities and reception histories; on thelight that different tragic traditions with their continuities anddissonances can cast on one another. The volume as a whole suggestssome future directions our conversations about tragedy mightprofitably take." -Charles Martindale, University of BristolMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
