{"product_id":"john-fletchers-rome-domenico-lovascio-9781526157386","title":"John Fletcher's Rome: Questioning the Classics","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Fletcher's Rome is the first book to explore John Fletcher's engagement with classical antiquity. Like Shakespeare and Jonson, Fletcher wrote, alone or in collaboration, a number of Roman plays: Bonduca, Valentinian, The False One and The Prophetess. Unlike Shakespeare's or Jonson's, however, Fletcher's Roman plays have seldom been the subject of critical discussion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDomenico Lovascio's ground-breaking study examines these plays as a group for the first time, thus identifying disorientation as the unifying principle of Fletcher's portrayal of imperial Rome. John Fletcher's Rome argues that Fletcher's dramatization of ancient Rome exudes a sense of detachment and scepticism as to the authority of Roman models resulting from his irreverent approach to the classics. The book sheds new light on Fletcher's intellectual life, his vision of history, and the interconnections between these plays and the rest of his canon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Domenico Lovascio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526157381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526157386\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 03\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.56d","brand":"Domenico Lovascio","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944184479999,"sku":"9781526157386","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6d988012-3183-453e-b6b0-907d902da0d9.jpg?v=1681502279","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/john-fletchers-rome-domenico-lovascio-9781526157386","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
