{"product_id":"the-shakespearean-comic-and-tragicomic-richard-hillman-9781526144072","title":"The Shakespearean Comic and Tragicomic: French Inflections","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn exploring links between the early modern English theatre and France, Richard Hillman focuses on Shakespeare's deployment of genres whose dominant Italian models and affinities might seem to leave little scope for French ones. The author draws on specific and unsuspected points of contact, whilst also pointing out a broad tendency by the dramatist, to draw on French material, both dramatic and non-dramatic, to inflect comic forms in potentially tragic directions. The resulting internal tensions are evident from the earliest comedies to the latest tragicomedies (or 'romances'). \u003cbr\u003eWhile its many original readings will interest specialists and students of Shakespeare, this book will have broader appeal: it contributes significantly, from an unfamiliar angle, to the contemporary discourse concerned with early modern English culture within the European context. At the same time, it is accessible to a wide range of readers, with translations provided for all non-English citations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Hillman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526144077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526144072\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 01\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Richard Hillman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936498319615,"sku":"9781526144072","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ec6abc4a-0903-450c-9513-444c4a68bf71.jpg?v=1681425913","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-shakespearean-comic-and-tragicomic-richard-hillman-9781526144072","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
