{"product_id":"reanimating-grief-william-mcevoy-9781526194695","title":"Reanimating Grief: Waking the Dead in Literature, Theatre and Performance","description":"Reanimating grief is a wide-ranging study of the poetics of bereavement in theatre, literature and song. It examines the way cultural works reanimate the dead in the form of ghosts, memories or scenes of mourning, and uses critical and creative writing to express grief's subjectivity and uniqueness. It covers classic texts from Greek tragedy and Shakespeare to works by Anton Chekhov, Samuel Beckett, Enda Walsh, Sally Rooney and Maggie O'Farrell. The book argues that the return of the dead in theatre and fiction is an act of memorial and an expression of love that illustrates the relationship between art, enchantment and impossibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William McEvoy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526194694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526194695\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 01\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"William McEvoy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446960959743,"sku":"9781526194695","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7645e828-4ca4-4836-aeef-32b83d11af34.jpg?v=1777227888","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reanimating-grief-william-mcevoy-9781526194695","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
