For students and scholars of classical literature and the posthuman, this book is a first point of reference.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giulia Maria Chesi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350069507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350069503\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 11\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.90w x 1.30d","brand":"Giulia Maria Chesi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153597509887,"sku":"9781350069503","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_10eec451-2321-41fd-882f-f85d80e66c56.jpg?v=1770784552","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/classical-literature-and-posthumanism-giulia-maria-chesi-9781350069503","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
