Review :
"The book displays immense learning and contains a multitude of insights, both about Hegel's theory of genres and about genre theory in general. I especially liked the author's ability to range over cinematic as well as literary examples, in encyclopaedic fashion and in a way that is both entertaining and provocative. He does full justice to the now-forgotten legacy of the nineteenth-century Hegelians, and clears up the misconception that for Hegel tragedy was the 'highest' genre, while at the same time having a great deal to say about Hegel's neglected theory of comedy. I became very enthusiastic about the book the further I read: the proof of the pudding is very much in the eating, and it is a rich feast. It is the first proper study of Hegel's theory of genres and its applicability today." -- Martin Donougho, University of South Carolina "Roche has a wide command of the philosophical literature related to Hegel, in English, German and other languages. In addition he shows an extremely impressive range of reference to literary works. He is thorough in his approach, balanced in his insights, and provides a good systematic framework within which to interpret Hegel and rethink the issues of tragedy and comedy." -- William Desmond, author of Art and the Absolute: A Study of Hegel's Aesthetics "Anyone who these days not only defends the intelligibility of a genre analysis of drama in the tradition of Hegel but also offers the kind of sophisticated and highly calibrated version provided by the author is engaged in a fruitful and important enterprise." -- Cyril O'Regan, author of The Heterodox Hegel
