Description and Table of Contents
Description
* A clear and accessible guide using a wide variety of literary examples commonly found on courses, as well as including up-to-date research focusing on race, gender, and other identities usually marginalised by studies of tragedy * Tragedy is one of the key components of Literature courses, and an updated text that is introductory - while also appealing to advance undergraduate and post-graduate students - and which can be assigned as required/recommended reading is much needed * As a popular/core topic there are other introductions to the area but none with the theoretical and literary breadth of our book
