{"product_id":"the-cambridge-companion-to-brian-anthony-roche-9780521666862","title":"The Cambridge Companion to Brian Friel","description":"Brian Friel is widely recognized as Ireland's greatest living playwright, winning an international reputation through such acclaimed works as Translations (1980) and Dancing at Lughnasa (1990). This 2006 collection of specially commissioned essays includes contributions from leading commentators on Friel's work (including two fellow playwrights) and explores the entire range of his career from his 1964 breakthrough with Philadelphia, Here I Come  to his most recent success in Dublin and London with The Home Place (2005). The essays approach Friel's plays both as literary texts and as performed drama, and provide the perfect introduction for students of both English and Theatre Studies, as well as theatregoers. The collection considers Friel's lesser-known works alongside his more celebrated plays and provides a comprehensive critical survey of his career. This is a comprehensive study of Friel's work, and includes a chronology and further reading suggestions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Roche\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521666864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521666862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.48w x 0.49d","brand":"Anthony Roche","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44522252501247,"sku":"9780521666862","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_987cb218-ded0-400d-8ba7-ae756e3230f3.jpg?v=1700156307","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cambridge-companion-to-brian-anthony-roche-9780521666862","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
