Senecan Tragedy and the Reception of Augustan Poetry by Christopher V. Trinacty (review)

121 a course syllabus). In response to the exploitative nature of crowd-sourced digital competitions, antispec websites and blogs have sprung up, Kennedy concluding that the main criticism is not the obvious monetary issues but the failure to acknowledge the value of design. In working with a designer in the context of a home renovation, I wholeheartedly agree with the view of the participants that design should begin only after extensive discussion with the clients. Both Kennedy’s and Suhr’s chapters would have benefitted from the use of more data samples to support their claims. As for the remaining chapters, the contexts discussed are interesting, but they read like first drafts of manuscripts that require revisions to the central argument, methodology, and/or data analysis/ presentation. In sum, this is a rather slim volume that does not carve out a sharp focus or cohere particularly well. The readership can be the judge as to whether there is enough content of interest to merit further investigation. Or is there an app or algorithm for that?
