{"product_id":"the-devil-is-an-ass-peter-happe-9780719030901","title":"The Devil Is an Ass","description":"This edition of \"The Devil is an Ass\" (1616) aims to provide an insight into Jonson's life and work, the theatrical qualities of the play, its political background and its textual history. In his introduction, Peter Happe looks at the special place of the play in Jonson's own life, his interest in London, the theatrical setting of the play and its sources and analogues. There are critical and explanatory commentaries and a glossarial index. The play is seen in its historical and political context, by linking it with late medieval and Elizabethan plays, as well as with the Jacobean stage. The text is meticulously and reliably edited, with modernized spelling for today's reader. A commentary is provided to explain difficult or significant passages. The stage history of the play also includes very recent productions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Happe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719030900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719030901\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 12\/21\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.38w x 0.74d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/1996 pg. 94","brand":"Peter Happe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443636646143,"sku":"9780719030901","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c85ba051-2694-4975-97e2-0fe380087c07.jpg?v=1777206792","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-devil-is-an-ass-peter-happe-9780719030901","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
