Table of ContentsReviewsThe strengths of Paracomedy lie in Jendza's clear and logical argumentation, the sheer mass of examples he musters of different forms of tragic appropriation of comedy, both intertextual and intertheatrical, and his close readings of Euripides' metapoetic relationship with Aristophanes. It is hard to overstate the importance of Paracomedy for the study of Greek drama and especially its intergeneric relationships. Jendza has provided the field with a well-argued and intelligent re-assessment of tragic possibilities, which has filled a gaping hole in contemporary scholarship and which will no doubt inspire further studies of tragedy's engagement with comedy and satyr play. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review * """The strengths of Paracomedy lie in Jendza's clear and logical argumentation, the sheer mass of examples he musters of different forms of tragic appropriation of comedy, both intertextual and intertheatrical, and his close readings of Euripides' metapoetic relationship with Aristophanes.
