{"product_id":"serial-shakespeare-elisabeth-bronfen-9781526142313","title":"Serial Shakespeare: An Infinite Variety of Appropriations in American TV Drama","description":"Shakespeare is everywhere in contemporary media culture. This book explores the reasons for this dissemination and reassemblage. Ranging widely over American TV drama, it discusses the use of citations in Westworld and The Wire, demonstrating how they tap into but also transform Shakespeare's preferred themes and concerns. It then examines the presentation of female presidents in shows such as Commander in Chief and House of Cards, revealing how they are modelled on figures of female sovereignty from his plays. Finally, it analyses the specifically Shakespearean dramaturgy of Deadwood and The Americans. Ultimately, the book brings into focus the way serial TV drama appropriates Shakespeare in order to give voice to the unfinished business of the American cultural imaginary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elisabeth Bronfen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526142317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526142313\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 10\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Elisabeth Bronfen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43991459594495,"sku":"9781526142313","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e45d550e-0598-46e5-b467-bb8a29d092a8.jpg?v=1683310424","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/serial-shakespeare-elisabeth-bronfen-9781526142313","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
