Tragedy and Otherness Sophocles, Shakespeare, Psychoanalysis

«‘Tragedy and Otherness’ is not a book to quickly breeze through. It aims to do much more than simply investigate psychoanalysis’s involvement with Greek tragedy. The book unfolds into a far-ranging exploration of the historical place and essence of both tragedy and psychoanalysis in Western culture. At the same time, Ray presents us with a captivating reflection about the interconnected issues of cultural transmission, knowledge and identity – subjects of major interest, not in the least to classical scholars. The effort of following him in this intellectual journey more than pays off.» (Nadia Sels, L’Antiquité Classique 81, 2012)
