Recenzii
This rich analysis is valuable not only because it underlines the importance of a broader cultural horizon, showing the topicality of more or less "ancient" literary and philosophical resources, but also because it celebrates different evaluations of current events and historical consciousness in a remarkably original approach.
Tragedy since 9/11 is a demanding, provocative read-well researched, articulate, and persuasive. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.
Powerful, deeply felt, thoughtful and convincing.
[A] remarkable book . [that] draws attention to the relationship between the horrors of the first two decades of the twenty-first century and the wider human conditions of tragedy and suffering.
A bold and ambitious book ... It is the astonishing range of material [Wallace] draws from our more immediate past and present that makes her book so rich and suggestive ... One ends Wallace's impassioned book with a deepened sense of the historical crisis through which we are living.
Jennifer Wallace's gripping book explores how the tragic tradition can still engage us today. In a learned yet passionate study, Wallace overturns tired commonplaces about canonical tragedies and makes these plays compelling models for framing the horrors of the past two decades.
This book is unique in its conception of the ancient trope of the tragic as the best guide to the crisis of the 21st century. Concerned with tragedy as both a literary and a political mode, Wallace brilliantly explains how it helps us negotiate the most pressing problems of modern society, from terrorism and environmental catastrophe, to the suffering of refugees on the shifting sands of our time.
