'And in the garden," he whispered 'Quietly," they said, 'or we shall wake them." But it wasn't that you woke us. Oh, no.

And then, tired of reading, one might rise and...

The Theatre of Civilized Excess : New Perspectives on Jacobean Tragedy
ISBN: 9789042021907 / Angielski / Miękka / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Although the stage's professionalization opened up hitherto unknown possibilities of economic success and...
