{"product_id":"shakespeare-the-queens-men-and-brian-walsh-9781107629066","title":"Shakespeare, the Queen's Men, and the Elizabethan Performance of History","description":"The Elizabethan history play was one of the most prevalent dramatic genres of the 1590s, and so was a major contribution to Elizabethan historical culture. The genre has been well served by critical studies that emphasize politics and ideology; however, there has been less interest in the way history is interrogated as an idea in these plays. Drawing in period-sensitive ways on the field of contemporary performance theory, this book looks at the Shakespearean history play from a fresh angle, by first analyzing the foundational work of the Queen's Men, the playing company that invented the popular history play. Through innovative readings of their plays including The Famous Victories of Henry V before moving on to Shakespeare's 1 Henry VI, Richard III, and Henry V, this book investigates how the Queen's Men's self-consciousness about performance helped to shape Shakespeare's dramatic and historical imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Walsh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107629063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107629066\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 09\/19\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Brian Walsh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054538518783,"sku":"9781107629066","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fab64276-1974-4b25-83b1-7642991cfcbe.jpg?v=1685030530","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shakespeare-the-queens-men-and-brian-walsh-9781107629066","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
