{"product_id":"shakespearean-territories-stuart-elden-9780226559193","title":"Shakespearean Territories","description":"Shakespeare was an astute observer of contemporary life, culture, and politics. The emerging practice of territory as a political concept and technology did not elude his attention. In \u003ci\u003eShakespearean Territories\u003c\/i\u003e, Stuart Elden reveals just how much Shakespeare's unique historical position and political understanding can teach us about territory. Shakespeare dramatized a world of technological advances in measuring, navigation, cartography, and surveying, and his plays open up important ways of thinking about strategy, economy, the law, and colonialism, providing critical insight into a significant juncture in history. Shakespeare's plays explore many territorial themes: from the division of the kingdom in \u003ci\u003eKing Lear, \u003c\/i\u003e to the relations among Denmark, Norway, and Poland in \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e, to questions of disputed land and the politics of banishment in \u003ci\u003eRichard II\u003c\/i\u003e. Elden traces how Shakespeare developed a nuanced understanding of the complicated concept and practice of territory and, more broadly, the political-geographical relations between people, power, and place. A meticulously researched study of over a dozen classic plays, \u003ci\u003eShakespearean Territories\u003c\/i\u003e will provide new insights for geographers, political theorists, and Shakespearean scholars alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart Elden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022655919X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226559193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2019","brand":"Stuart Elden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096662221055,"sku":"9780226559193","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shakespearean-territories-stuart-elden-9780226559193","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
