He also assesses the works which participated in shaping the theatrical face of Western hegemony, ones directly participating in Orientalism as delineated by Edward Said and others. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of great interest to students and scholars in theatre, French literature, history and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Hammerbeck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367644266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367644260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"David Hammerbeck","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944883388671,"sku":"9780367644260","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_156e141b-5edd-4a91-a563-b67c76841c55.jpg?v=1681505552","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/french-theatre-orientalism-and-the-david-hammerbeck-9780367644260","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
