{"product_id":"pirandello-in-context-patricia-gaborik-9781108424547","title":"Pirandello in Context","description":"For students of Luigi Pirandello's life and works, this volume provides a multi-faceted view spanning the many genres in which he wrote, from poetry and essays to fiction and drama. It gives a true sense of Pirandello's remarkable sensitivity to place - from his native Sicily to Germany and Latin America - and of how his perspective was shaped by a wide range of interlocutors with varying professional backgrounds, from contemporary philosophers to fellow playwrights like Bernard Shaw, directors like Max Reinhardt and the actress Marta Abba. Diverse contributors explore the sheer genre-bending originality of Pirandello's humor, metatheatre, and fantastic tales, and reveal how profound shifts in society, culture, and politics in his time - Freud, Futurism, Fascism - conditioned not just his thought but also his meteoric rise to fame. A final section is dedicated to Pirandello's legacy in literature and drama throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Gaborik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108424546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108424547\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 03\/21\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Patricia Gaborik","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44860371632383,"sku":"9781108424547","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_491ff983-9c30-4910-8c7e-5a1c297dc1f7.jpg?v=1709135935","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pirandello-in-context-patricia-gaborik-9781108424547","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
