### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A2 English Literature student - most useful and helpful (please read below)
*by C***A on 20 June 2016*

Found this most useful for my A2 English Literature coursework on tragedy. Though I was studying post-war tragedy on e.g. The Great Gatsby and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, it was most helpful to look back at the classical and original theories and ideas concerning tragedy. The Birth of Tragedy would not be considered as one of Nietzsche's best, as it is very biased and very informal, however, that is what makes the book perfect for coursework, enabling students to put it down to discussion, debate or show the examiner that you have your own personal opinion (by agreeing or disagreeing with Nietzsche's view)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommended as a starting point for Nietzsche
*by R***T on 22 September 2016*

Great introduction of almost perfect length and depth. The notes are extremely useful as Nietzsche references a lot of works and books most people have not read. A good starting point for reading Nietzsche as it's one of his first and most accessible works - which cant be said for most of his other works. Nietzsche makes a valuable statement of the importance of art as metaphysical consolation, where Attic tragedy is the highest achievement of art with it's ''perfect'' mixture of the Apollonian and Dionysian attributes. The arguements for this are extremely unconventional for a philosopher, but entertaining and passionate nonetheless.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by C***E on 23 July 2016*
