Focusing on Shakespeare's unique interest in the young body, the life stage, and the parental and social dynamic, this book offers an account of the role and representation of the child in Shakespeare's dramatic imagination. Drawing on a vast range of contemporary texts, including parenting manuals and household and pedagogic texts, as well as books on nursing and maternity, child birth, and child rearing, \u003cem\u003e The Child in Shakespeare\u003c\/em\u003e explores the contexts in which the idea of the child is mobilised as a body and image on the early modern stage. Understanding the child, not only as a specific life stage, but also as a role and an abstraction of feeling, this book examines why Shakespeare, who showed little interest in writing for children in the playing companies, wrote so powerfully about them on his stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlotte Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0192843079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192843074\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 07\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.40d","brand":"Charlotte Scott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944146731263,"sku":"9780192843074","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a8335c4d-e09e-468e-ba24-3be5bf21d4f3.jpg?v=1681502058","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-child-in-shakespeare-charlotte-scott-9780192843074","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
