{"product_id":"dawber-martin-new-fashion-print-9781906388072","title":"New Fashion Print","description":"Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. The Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, but it remains deeply controversial. The text may seem anti-Semitic; yet repeatedly, in performance, it has revealed a contrasting nature. Shylock, though vanquished in the law-court, often triumphs in the theatre. In his intensity he can dominate the play, challenging abrasively its romantic and lyrical affirmations. What results is a bitter-sweet drama. Though The Merchant of Venice offers some of the traditional pleasures of romantic comedy, it also exposes the operations of prejudice. Thus Shakespeare remains our contemporary.","brand":"Batsford Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53414429524310,"sku":"9781840224313-V","price":5.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":54037489647958,"sku":"9781840224313-G","price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/dawber-martin-new-fashion-print-9781906388072","provider":"momox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
