{"product_id":"9780511739590","title":"Shakespeare's Individualism","description":"Providing a provocative and original perspective on Shakespeare, Peter Holbrook argues that Shakespeare is an author friendly to such essentially modern and unruly notions as individuality, freedom, self-realization and authenticity. These expressive values vivify Shakespeare's own writing; they also form a continuous, and a central, part of the Shakespearean tradition. Engaging with the theme of the individual will in specific plays and poems, and examining a range of libertarian-minded scholarly and literary responses to Shakespeare over time, Shakespeare's Individualism advances the proposition that one of the key reasons for reading Shakespeare today is his commitment to individual liberty - even as we recognize that freedom is not just an indispensable ideal but also, potentially, a dangerous one. Engagingly written and jargon free, this book demonstrates that Shakespeare has important things to say about fundamental issues of human existence.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47122426626288,"sku":"9780511739590","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780511739590_p0.jpg?v=1763709287","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780511739590","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
