Reviews

In its considerable breadth, The Returns of Antigone as a whole represents a significant contribution to the interdisciplinary study of ancient Greek tragedy and its afterlives and will no doubt prove useful for both scholarship and pedagogy ... [it] points to a promising future of further nuanced and varied engagements with Antigone in all of her manifestations. - philoSOPHIA The volume serves well as a mirror of the diversity of approaches to the play ... [it] shines a lot of light on the layers and breadth of interest in Antigone, and it is highly recommended reading in that sense ... [it] contributes clearly to feminist scholarship by showing just how many interesting interpretations of Antigone have grown out of the politics of gender and sexuality. - Hypatia
