{"product_id":"sources-of-shakespeares-plays","title":"Sources of Shakespeare's Plays","description":"First published in 1977.\n\nThis book ascertains what sources Shakespeare used for the plots of his plays and discusses the use he made of them; and secondly illustrates how his general reading is woven into the texture of his work. Few Elizabethan dramatists took such pains as Shakespeare in the collection of source-material. Frequently the sources were apparently incompatible, but Shakespeare's ability to combine a chronicle play, one or two prose chronicles, two poems and a pastoral romance without any sense of incongruity, was masterly. The plays are examined in approximately chronological order and Shakespeare's developing skill becomes evident.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54239949685080,"sku":"9780415352994","price":427.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415352994_4f15cbb9-a6c6-4abb-a8bb-5f132a27d27a.jpg?v=1768640457","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/sources-of-shakespeares-plays","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
