{"product_id":"dido-queen-of-carthage-ruth-lunney-9781784993986","title":"Dido, Queen of Carthage: By Christopher Marlowe","description":"\u003cp\u003eA city burns, and a queen burns for love: Dido, Queen of Carthage re-imagines one of the great legendary stories. The encounter between a wandering hero and an African queen engenders love and loss, eroticism and absurdity, childish simplicity and compelling eloquence. Written for children to perform in the 1580s, Dido is nonetheless a remarkable play, revolutionary in its approach to character, blank verse, and audiences.\u003cbr\u003eThis volume is the first single-text scholarly edition in English. It is an indispensable resource for scholars, students, and theatre practitioners.\u003cbr\u003eThe edition features an accessible text, lightly punctuated for ease of reading and speaking. It incorporates new research into authorship (which indicates that Marlowe wrote the play), a detailed analysis of Dido's sources, and a survey of criticism; it assesses the evidence for early performances and provides extensive information about modern productions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Lunney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784993980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784993986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d","brand":"Ruth Lunney","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44190950392063,"sku":"9781784993986","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6aa5e181-cad9-43e8-84e4-7e7911b1cebc.jpg?v=1690873225","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dido-queen-of-carthage-ruth-lunney-9781784993986","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
