The third edition of this critically acclaimed work includes a new foreword by Terry Eagleton and an extensive new introduction by the author.

This is (or was) a great book and a very Daniel Vitkus This is (or was) a great book and a very, very important contribution to critical analysis of English Renaissance drama. But I must give this particualr edition 1 star because Duke University Press allowed so many errors and typos to be introduced into this third edition printing that this book is actually a defective product. They should be ashamed: farming this great critical study out to some cheap copy editors and typesetters in the third world when Duke is roll. Typos abound in this edition to an annoying extent. I'm generally tolerant of the occasional oops POL Just a word of warning. Typos abound in this edition to an annoying extent. I'm generally tolerant of the occasional oops but the people at Duke University Press push against the good nature of readers with this one. A later edition of this book is sold on Amazon-alas, for more money-, but maybe they've cleaned up the mess. If they have then spending the extra money might be worth it. Maybe.The book content is very interesting and erudite which makes this review bas
“A welcome new edition of a pathbreaking book complete with a brilliantly incisive and thought-provoking introduction that will enthuse a new generation of students. With an iconoclastic energy all too rare in academic circles, Dollimore fearlessly revalues his own project and poses questions central to the larger critical, cultural, and philosophical debates within English Studies, to which Radical Tragedy continues to make a major scholarly contribution.”—John Drakakis, University of Stirling
