{"product_id":"9781628922103","title":"Thomas Mann and Shakespeare: Something Rich and Strange","description":"Bringing together scholars from diverse disciplines and countries, \u003ci\u003eThomas Mann and Shakespeare\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book-length study to explore the always fascinating, if sometimes disturbing, connections between Shakespeare and Mann. It establishes startling resonances between the central works of these two authors, pairing, for instance, \u003ci\u003eDer Zauberberg\u003c\/i\u003e with \u003ci\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDer Tod in Venedig\u003c\/i\u003e with \u003ci\u003eThe Merchant of Venice\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTonio Kröger\u003c\/i\u003e with \u003ci\u003eOthello\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLove's Labour's Lost\u003c\/i\u003e with \u003ci\u003eDoktor Faustus\u003c\/i\u003e. Showing how the conjunction of Shakespeare and Mann affords new, alternative perspectives on fundamental issues such as modernity, irony, art, desire, authorship and religion, \u003ci\u003eThomas Mann and Shakespeare\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the increasingly walled-in specialism of literary topics and periodization and demonstrates the scope for new ways of reading in literary studies.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151838822640,"sku":"9781628922103","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781628922103_p0.jpg?v=1763866775","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781628922103","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
