{"product_id":"thomas-nashe-and-literary-performance-chloe-kathleen-preedy-9781526149466","title":"Thomas Nashe and Literary Performance","description":"As an instigator of debate and a defender of tradition, a man of letters and a popular hack, a writer of erotica and a spokesman for bishops, an urbane metropolitan and a celebrant of local custom, the various textual performances of Thomas Nashe have elicited, and continue to provoke, a range of contradictory reactions. Nashe's often incongruous authorial characteristics suggest that, as a 'King of Pages', he not only courted controversy but also deliberately cultivated a variety of public personae, acquiring a reputation more slippery than the herrings he celebrated in print. Collectively, the essays in this book illustrate how Nashe excelled at textual performance but his personae became a contested site as readers actively participated and engaged in the reception of Nashe's public image and his works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chloe Kathleen Preedy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 152614946X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526149466\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 07\/23\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Chloe Kathleen Preedy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45897622880511,"sku":"9781526149466","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f15ca15e-e15d-4883-8002-43385e88847b.jpg?v=1721374358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thomas-nashe-and-literary-performance-chloe-kathleen-preedy-9781526149466","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
