This stimulating, slim volume works well both as an introduction to the seven tragedies and as a series of sharp, generous readings.<br /><b><i>Plays International Magazine</i>, December/January 2008/9</b><br />
'The Tragedies of Sophocles' provides a useful reference for both pupils and teachers studying the works of this tragedian. The writing style is lucid and accessible and sweeps the reader along in an enthusiastic examination of Sophoclesâ purpose and messageâŠit is a quick, yet informative read. [...] the very useful discussion of the individual plays makes this a worthwhile and valuable book, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it for both teachers and pupils.<br /><b><i>Journal of Classics Teaching</i>, 17, Summer 2009</b><br />
