{"product_id":"shakespeares-originality-john-kerrigan-9780198793755","title":"Shakespeare's Originality","description":"How original was Shakespeare and how was Shakespeare original? This lucid, innovative book sets about answering these questions by putting them in historical context and investigating how the dramatist worked with his sources: plays, poems, chronicles and prose romances. \u003cem\u003eShakespeare's Originality\u003c\/em\u003e unlocks its topic with rewarding precision and flair, showing through a series of case studies that range across the output-from the mature comedies to the great tragedies, from \u003cem\u003eRichard III \u003c\/em\u003eto \u003cem\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/em\u003e--what can be learned about the artistry of the plays by thinking about these sources (including newly identified ones) after several decades of neglect. Discussion is enriched by such matters as Elizabethan ruffs and feathers, actors' footwork, chronicle history, modern theatre productions, debts to classical tragedy, scepticism, magic and science, the agricultural revolution, and ecological catastrophe. This is authoritative, lively work by one of the world's leading Shakespearians, accessible to the general reader as well as indispensable for students.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Kerrigan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198793758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198793755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.30w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2018","brand":"John Kerrigan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946295361791,"sku":"9780198793755","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4671c3f0-3f8b-4462-b117-04e4536bbf45.jpg?v=1681512404","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shakespeares-originality-john-kerrigan-9780198793755","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
