Films IndexReviewsTragedy's Endurance is not simply a welcome addition for the field of Classical Reception, but it is also a book which offers a new methodological paradigm to a thriving discipline. The book presents a new approach to theatre historiography ... [and] installs a new critical perspective on German cultural history. * George Sampatakakis, Classical Journal Online * Tragedy's Endurance synthesizes a wealth of material and interpretation that will serve as a foundation for future study. Even where one meets the limits of Fischer-Lichte's approach or differs in assessing the evidence, her analyses are fully realized and the history presented compelling. The book constitutes a major contribution to its overlapping fields of research and will prove an essential resource for understanding the powerful, productive, and troubled place of Greek theatre in the creation of German identity. * Joshua Billings, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * Tragedy's Endurance synthesizes a wealth of material and interpretation that will serve as a foundation for future study.
