Paperback. Etat : Fair. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Shakespeare and the New Disease: The Dramatic Function of Syphilis in "Troilus and Cressida", "Measure for Measure" and "Timon of Athens" (American . Series Iv: English Language & Literature)Hardback covers are bowed; top right-hand corner slightly bumped; pinhead-sized foxing and a tiny amount of browning on page edges; endpapers clean and binding firm; some pencil markings scattered through the text, but a perfectly readable book.This book makes several important contributions to our knowledge of Shakespeare and the Renaissance. First, Bentley's close and thorough analysis of the references to syphilis in Troilus and Cressida, Measure for Measure, and Timon of Athens illustrates how Shakespeare not only transforms a medical topic into imaginative literature, but more specifically it demonstrates how Shakespeare employs this image cluster to define and reveal major themes in the plays - sexual commercialism, slander, and usury, respectively. Second, Bentley's investigation of the imagery and themes in these plays provides evidence about their generic identity: rather than view these plays as traditional comedies or even problem plays, they should be looked at as comic or tragic satires.American University Studies: series IV; Eng. Lit. and Lang.; vol 85. A very interesting book. N° de réf. du vendeur 424472
