Negative Positive
Title: Helpful for undergraduates
Review: O'Toole's historically-based concept of tragedy is a valuable corrective to the artistotelian viewpoint. He sees Renaissance tragedy as reflecting the problematic transition from medieval to early modern in England. His argument is not especially original but still very helpful for undergrads. O'Toole historicizes tragedy, presenting an accessible methodology for undergrads, taking them beyond purely formalistic analysis.
