{"product_id":"9781902806358","title":"Refiguring Mimesis: Representation in Early Modern Literature","description":"\u003cp\u003eFocusing squarely on the strength of mimesis as a philosophical idea, this collection of essays considers aspects of mimesis ranging from Shakespeare to colonialism. As the philosophical agenda of major thinkers and writers responds to representational crises like post-structuralism and postmodernism, attention is turning away from artistic expressivity and back towards uses of mimesis. The nine included essays present a varied set of theoretical ideas and challenge the ingrained concept that mimesis is only a transparent reflection of reality. This fresh assessment of an ancient and much-cited practice brings new attention to the ways in which the early modern period made use of such representation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Hertfordshire Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043705110768,"sku":"9781902806358","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781902806358_p0.jpg?v=1763612605","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781902806358","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
