{"product_id":"english-renaissance-tragedy-peter-holbrook-9781472572813","title":"English Renaissance Tragedy: Ideas of Freedom","description":"This book's underlying claim is that English Renaissance tragedy addresses live issues in the experience of readers and spectators today: it is not a genre to be studied only for aesthetic or \"heritage\" reasons. The book considers the way in which tragedy in general, and English Renaissance tragedy in particular, addresses ideas of freedom, understood both from an individual and a sociopolitical perspective. Tragedy since the Greeks has addressed the constraints and necessities to which human life is subject (Fate, the gods, chance, the conflict between state and individual) as well as the human desire for autonomy and self-direction. In short, \u003ci\u003eEnglish Renaissance Tragedy: Ideas of Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e shows how the tragic drama of Shakespeare's age addresses problems of freedom, slavery, and tyranny in ways that speak to us now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Holbrook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472572815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472572813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arden Shakespeare\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Peter Holbrook","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088343150847,"sku":"9781472572813","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8c77219d-e2a3-422f-8da7-e82afd242ba9.jpg?v=1769104329","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/english-renaissance-tragedy-peter-holbrook-9781472572813","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
