{"product_id":"hyde-park-eugene-giddens-9781526178794","title":"Hyde Park: By James Shirley","description":"\u003cp\u003eHyde Park (1632) is one of the best-loved comedies of James Shirley, considered to be one of the most important Caroline dramatists. The play showcases strong female characters who excel at rebuking the outlandish courtship of various suitors. Shirley's comic setting, London's Hyde Park, offers ample opportunity for witty dialogue. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the first critical edition of the play, including a wide-ranging introduction and extensive commentary and textual notes. Paying special attention to the culture of Caroline London and its stage, the volume unpicks Shirley's politics of courtship and consent while also underlining the play's dynamics of class and power. A detailed performance history traces productions from 1632, across the Restoration to the present day, including that of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1987. A textual history of the play's first quarto determines how it was printed and what relationship Hyde Park has to other texts by Shirley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eugene Giddens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526178796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526178794\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 04\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.42d","brand":"Eugene Giddens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45180584558847,"sku":"9781526178794","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c853db4d-5928-4225-9bc0-b21ddd7616c6.jpg?v=1712898188","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hyde-park-eugene-giddens-9781526178794","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
