{"product_id":"sound-effects-laura-jayne-wright-9781526159182","title":"Sound Effects: Hearing the Early Modern Stage","description":"This book shows that the sounds of the early modern stage do not only signify but are also significant. Sounds are weighted with meaning, offering a complex system of allusions. Playwrights such as Jonson and Shakespeare developed increasingly experimental soundscapes, from the storms of King Lear (1605) and Pericles (1607) to the explosive laboratory of The Alchemist (1610). Yet, sound is dependent on the subjectivity of listeners; this book is conscious of the complex relationship between sound as made and sound as heard. Sound effects should not resound from scene to scene without examination, any more than a pun can be reshaped in dialogue without acknowledgement of its shifting connotations. This book listens to sound as a rhetorical device, able to penetrate the ears and persuade the mind, to influence and to affect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Jayne Wright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 152615918X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526159182\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 06\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Laura Jayne Wright","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069673599231,"sku":"9781526159182","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2c0a795-3027-4965-95a1-108953da4131.jpg?v=1685425881","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sound-effects-laura-jayne-wright-9781526159182","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
