{"product_id":"shakespeare-and-republicanism-andrew-hadfield-9780521718004","title":"Shakespeare and Republicanism","description":"Andrew Hadfield reveals for the first time exactly how Shakespeare was influenced by contemporary strands in political thought critical of the English crown. Although he was often seen as a conservative political thinker characterized by an over-riding fear of the 'mob', Hadfield argues that Shakespeare's writing actually emerged out of an intellectual milieu fascinated by republican ideas. From the 1590s onwards, he explored republican themes in his poetry and plays: political assassination, elected government, alternative constitutions, and, perhaps most importantly of all, the problem of power without responsibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Hadfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521718007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521718004\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 05\/08\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Andrew Hadfield","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056291999999,"sku":"9780521718004","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce1d9a93-26be-4261-bcc7-bccb3de5e5fc.jpg?v=1685040539","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shakespeare-and-republicanism-andrew-hadfield-9780521718004","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
