{"product_id":"9780521032377","title":"After Dickens : Reading, Adaptation and Performance (Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-century Literature and Culture)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter Dickens is both a performative reading of Dickens the novelist and an exploration of the potential for adaptive performance of the novels themselves. John Glavin conducts a historical inquiry into Dickens's relationship to the theatre and theatricality of his own time, and uncovers a much more ambivalent, often hostile, relationship than has hitherto been noticed. In this context, Dickens's novels can be seen as a form of counter-performance, one which would allow the author to perform without being seen or scrutinized. But Glavin also identifies a rich performative potential in Dickens's fiction, and describes new ways to stage that fiction in emotionally powerful, critically acute adaptations. The book as a whole, therefore, offers a reading of Dickens through an unusual alliance between literary criticism and theatrical performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49705344925944,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":97.91,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9780521032377-1.jpg?v=1783598389","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9780521032377","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
