{"product_id":"9781441125507","title":"Shakespeare's Musical Imagery","description":"Music pervades Shakespeare's\u003cbr\u003ework. In addition to vocal songs and numerous instrumental cues there are\u003cbr\u003ethousands of references to music throughout the plays and many of the poems.\u003cbr\u003eThis book discusses Shakespeare's musical imagery according to categories defined\u003cbr\u003eby occurrence in the plays and poems. In turn, these categories depend on their\u003cbr\u003eearly modern usage and significance. Thus, instruments such as lute and viol\u003cbr\u003edeserve special attention just as Renaissance ideas relating to musical\u003cbr\u003ephilosophy and pedagogical theory need contextual explanation. The objective is\u003cbr\u003eto locate Shakespeare's musical imagery, reference and metaphor in its\u003cbr\u003eimmediate context in a play or poem and explain its meaning. Discussion and\u003cbr\u003eexplanation of the musical imagery suggests a range of possible dramatic and\u003cbr\u003epoetic purposes these musical references serve.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142795215088,"sku":"9781441125507","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441125507_p0.jpg?v=1763801990","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441125507","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
