{"product_id":"shakespeares-book-richard-meek-9780719085611","title":"Shakespeare's Book: Essays in Reading, Writing and Reception","description":"This collection of essays is part of a new phase in Shakespeare studies. The traditional view of Shakespeare is that he was a man of the theatre who showed no interest in the printing of his plays, producing works that are only fully realised in performance. This view has recently been challenged by critics arguing that Shakespeare was a literary 'poet-playwright', concerned with his readers as well as his audiences. Shakespeare's Book offers a vital contribution to this critical debate, and examines its wider implications for how we conceive of Shakespeare and his works. Bringing together an impressive group of international Shakespeare scholars, the volume explores both Shakespeare's relationship with actual printers, patrons, and readers, and the representation of writing, reading, and print within his works themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Meek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719085616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719085611\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 04\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.64d","brand":"Richard Meek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925741437183,"sku":"9780719085611","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_80508474-35ed-4f42-84e2-d7e66c0b7aea.jpg?v=1681079079","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shakespeares-book-richard-meek-9780719085611","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
