{"product_id":"a-poets-notebook-edith-louisa-sitwell-9781448200269","title":"A Poet's Notebook","description":"This is a selection from Dr. Sitwell's private notebooks. It includes essays on prosody, the role of the poet, the nature of poetry, and includes her full length work 'A Notebook on William Shakespeare', as well as discussion of Chaucer, Herrick, Wordsworth, Pope and Byron amongst others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe section on Shakespeare consists of essays on the general aspect of the plays - those great hymns to the principle and the glory of life. There are long essays on \u003ci\u003eKing Lear, Macbeth, Othello, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Hamlet\u003c\/i\u003e. Miss Sitwell believes, with all humility, that she has discovered new sources of the inspiration of \u003ci\u003eKing Lear\u003c\/i\u003e, throwing a new light on the whole play, and giving us new meaning to the mad scenes, of an unsurpassable grandeur, depth and terror. There are essays on many of the comedies, and long passages about the Fools and Clowns, all of which serve to illiminate Shakespeare's mighty and many-sided genius.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edith Louisa Sitwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1448200261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781448200269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Edith Louisa Sitwell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980389318911,"sku":"9781448200269","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56ab67fa-d13a-4b61-81a2-1cfdc2fea272.jpg?v=1683249648","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-poets-notebook-edith-louisa-sitwell-9781448200269","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
