{"product_id":"aleksandr-bloks-trilogy-of-lyric-dramas","title":"Aleksandr Blok's Trilogy of Lyric Dramas","description":"\u003cp\u003eAleksandr Blok's Trilogy of Lyric Dramas gathers together for the first time in English translation the first three plays by Aleksandr Blok, the pre-eminent poet of Russian Symbolism and one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century. The three plays that constitute the trilogy - \u003cem\u003eA Puppet Show, The King on the Square\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Unknown Woman\u003c\/em\u003e - are pivotal documents in the development of modernist drama. In his productions of \u003cem\u003eA Puppet Show\u003c\/em\u003e; and \u003cem\u003eThe Unknown Woman\u003c\/em\u003e, Meyerhold first began to work the basic tenets of his approach to grotesque and constructivist theatre. Moreover, \u003cem\u003eA Puppet Show\u003c\/em\u003e provided the inspiration and much of the foundation for Meyerhold's theoretical writings. As a result, these plays are indispensable to any student of Meyerhold or modernist theatre. The plays are presented in the context of the poetry from which they issued in order to suggest how Blok developed the themes and motifs of the plays in other genres.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54236096102744,"sku":"9780415280501","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415280501_106d4fcc-3b43-4d5c-afa4-d52d554e261c.jpg?v=1780396226","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/aleksandr-bloks-trilogy-of-lyric-dramas","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
