{"product_id":"shakespeares-other-language-ruth-nevo-9780367695019","title":"Shakespeare's Other Language","description":"\u003cp\u003eShakespeare's last plays, the tragicomic Romances, are notoriously strange plays, riddled with fabulous events and incredible coincidences, magic and dream. These features have sometimes been interpreted as the carelessness of an of an aging dramatist weary of his craft, or justified as folklore motifs, suitable to the romance tale. But neither view explains the fascination and power these plays still exert.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1987, Ruth Nevo's book offers a reading of the plays which invokes the findings and methods of post-psychoanalytic semiotics. Drawing on a Lacanian model of the \"textual unconscious\", she embarks on searching analyses of \u003ci\u003ePericles\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCymbeline\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Winter's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/i\u003e, brilliantly illuminating their apparent absurdities and anomalies, their bizarre or preposterous events and obscurely motivated actions, their often puzzling syntax. Her investigation of the plays' informing fantasies produces unified and enriched readings which serve both to rehabilitate those plays which have been less than highly thought of, and to disclose new significance in the acknowledged masterpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Nevo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367695014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367695019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.39d","brand":"Ruth Nevo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44131767910655,"sku":"9780367695019","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20695f8d-f503-4abb-a61c-81613abd8e5a.jpg?v=1687476285","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shakespeares-other-language-ruth-nevo-9780367695019","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
