Media Reviews
'… a model of clear philosophical prose … keen philosophical insights … Some people read books to gain understanding; I suspect Young wrote this book to gain understanding. For philosophers or anyone else interested in tragedy, we should all be glad that he did.' The British Journal of Aesthetics
