{"product_id":"shakespeare-and-cultural-materialist-theory-christopher-marlow-9781472572967","title":"Shakespeare and Cultural Materialist Theory","description":"Cultural materialism is one of the most important and one of the most provocative theories to have emerged in the last thirty years. Combining close attention to Shakespearean texts and the conditions of their production with an explicit left-wing political affiliation, cultural materialism offers readers a radical avenue through which to engage with Shakespeare and his world. \u003ci\u003eShakespeare and Cultural Materialist Theory \u003c\/i\u003echarts the inception and development of this theory, setting out its central tenets and analysing the work of key thinkers such as Alan Sinfield, Jonathan Dollimore, Terence Hawkes and Catherine Belsey. Unlike most literary theories, cultural materialism attempts to use the study of Shakespeare to intervene in the politics of the present day, and its unsettling approach has not passed without objection, both within academia and without. This book considers the debates, scandals and controversies caused by cultural materialism, and by applying it to Shakespeare afresh, demonstrates that the theory is still very much alive and kicking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Marlow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472572963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472572967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2018","brand":"Christopher Marlow","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058879885567,"sku":"9781472572967","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d67e0c18-b80c-465f-8755-7de037cfe6c4.jpg?v=1685055015","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shakespeare-and-cultural-materialist-theory-christopher-marlow-9781472572967","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
