The result is a guide for the prospective dramaturg which also provides for the more general reader a unique case study of the nexus between the methods and assumptions of literary criticism and those of practical...

The Truth Will Out: Unmasking the Real Shakespeare
ISBN: 9781405840866 / Angielski / Miękka / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
