Shakespeare's Festive Tragedy is a unique look at the social and religious foundations of the tragic genre. Naomi Liebler asks whether it is possible to regard tragic heroes such as Coriolanus and King Lear as `sacrifical victims of the prevailing social order'.
A fascinating examination of Shakespearean tragedy, this extraordinary book will provoke excitment and controversy alike.

Naomi Conn Liebler is Professor of English at Montclair State University, where in 1990 she was named Distinguished Scholar. She is the author of a variety of articles on Shakespeare and, with John Drakakis, is co-editor of a forthcoming reader on tragedy.
