{"product_id":"french-renaissance-tragedy-gillian-jondorf-9780521360142","title":"French Renaissance Tragedy","description":"Gillian Jondorf challenges the traditional critical approaches to French Renaissance theater, reevaluating its literary merit and originality. She shows how playwrights of the sixteenth century actually achieved an originality by introducing classical themes, breaking with the medieval tradition of religious and morality plays. Whereas many critics have considered writers of French Renaissance drama as mere forerunners of the more famous seventeenth-century writers such as Molière or Racine, Jondorf argues that these plays should be seen as competent and skillfully-composed in their own right. This book will appeal to students of Renaissance literature and European drama, as well as those interested in questions of originality and literary influence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gillian Jondorf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521360145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521360142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.56d","brand":"Gillian Jondorf","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47422087758079,"sku":"9780521360142","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_74db0f09-a2b6-4784-add6-abfbb96fc75e.jpg?v=1761527414","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/french-renaissance-tragedy-gillian-jondorf-9780521360142","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
