Reviews

Metapoetry in Euripides provides many rich and challenging readings of individual Euripidean texts
*Jan Haywood, Bryn Mawr Classical Review*

In her [Torrance's] rich and intelligent study the numerous metapoetic features of Euripidean drama are scrupulously assembled and thoroughly analysed, with persuasive results ... The book should command an audience among scholars and advanced students, who will profit greatly from its intelligence and interest.
