As far as I can see there isn't another book for sale of this title that possesses the three following qualities: a Non-Library Hardcover in a Dust Jacket. In addition it is a First Edition (Routledge & Kegan Paul= 'First Published Year'). More good news, the book and dust jacket are both in very good condition. You can take a look at the photographs. I think they speak for themselves. The book is very solidly bound, absolutely no issues in that regard. And the pages are all very clean. I didn't see any soiling. No one has written any notes or underlined anything on any of the pages. Of course nothing is perfect and the previous owner who was clearly a Shakespeare scholar (he possessed a dozen or so academic titles) loved his books so much that he placed a stamp with his name, address and phone number) inside. If you purchase the book you will find it on the inside front cover and beneath the author's name on the title page. At least it's small. The Dust Jacket is Not clipped. As you can see in the first three photographs, it's in very nice condition. It is quite clean. The spine is not faded. There are no tears. The only wear is a little crinkling at and near to the top of the spine. The dust jacket will be fitted with a protective cover.…

The focus of this book is the dramatic strategies of scenic repetition and character separation. The author traces the way in which Shakesperare often presents recurring gestures, dramatic interactions, and complex scenic structures at widely separated intervals in a play - thereby providing an internal system of cross-reference for an audience. He also examines the way in which Shakespeare increases the dramatic voltage in central relationships by limiting the access key characters have to each other on stage. These strategies, it is argued, are indelible marks of Shakespeare's craftsmanship which survive all attempts to obliterate it in many modern productions.

Store description
Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
