University Libraries Promotion and Tenure Recognition

Robert Corrigan was an exceptional teacher and an inspiring mentor. As I was completing my doctoral degree, he asked me to assist him in preparing a new edition of this book. Sadly, the project never materialized due to Robert's illness and subsequent death. However, his great optimism and his belief in the triumph of the human spirit that is exemplified in the genre of tragedy have served for me as a kind of inheritance that has proved invaluable in my life and my work.
