{"product_id":"jacobean-city-comedy-hardback","title":"Jacobean City Comedy - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first decade of the Jacobean age witnessed a sudden profusion of comedies satirizing city life; among these were comedies by Ben Jonson, John Marston and Thomas Middleton, as well as the bulk of the repertory of the newly-established children’s companies at Blackfriars and Paul’s. The playwrights self-consciously forged a new genre which attracted London audiences with its images of folly and vice in Court and City, and hack-writing dramatists were prompt to cash in on a new theatrical fashion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis study, first published in 1980, examines ways in which the Jacobean city comedy reflect on the self-consciousness of audiences and the concern of the dramatists with Jacobean society. This title will be of interest of students of Renaissance Drama, English Literature and Performance. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45575266861294,"sku":"9781138279957","price":201.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138279957_5df7fc28-d882-4775-ad5c-4ebc430d3de4.jpg?v=1720947379","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/jacobean-city-comedy-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
