{"product_id":"samuel-becketts-waiting-for-godot-william-hutchings-9780313308796","title":"Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot: A Reference Guide","description":"No modern play in the western dramatic tradition has provoked as much controversy or generated as much diversity of opinion as Samuel Beckett's \u003ci\u003eWaiting for Godot\u003c\/i\u003e. Since its initial production in 1953, it has revolutionized the stage through its existentialism and apparent rejection of plot. This book is a valuable introduction to the play. It begins with a summary of the play and its origins and editions. It then explores the play's meaning and the historical and intellectual contexts informing Beckett's work. The book then examines Beckett's dramatic art and gives full coverage of the play's performance history. A bibliographical essay surveys the most important critical studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Hutchings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313308799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313308796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.34w x 0.81d","brand":"William Hutchings","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48135971602687,"sku":"9780313308796","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a467a693-79bc-4820-8405-3b04d794c9d5.jpg?v=1770159663","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/samuel-becketts-waiting-for-godot-william-hutchings-9780313308796","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
