THE DRAMA OF LANDSCAPE. Land, Property, and Social Relations on the Early Modern Stage.

Tenth printing. Publisher's original dark grey cloth with silver titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth fresh. The contents have pencilled marginalia and underlining throughout by the previous owner Dr Richard Rowland. Complete with the near fine original dustwrapper, which is bright and fresh, with a light mark to the tail of the spine, and a little rubbing to the extremities.

From the library of (and with pencilled marginalia of) Dr Richard Rowland, editor and author on the Renaissance and classical mythology, and Senior Lecturer in the Department of English and Related Literature at the University of York. '[The Drama of Landscape] shows that Renaissance dramatic texts participate in the construction of an array of early modern landscapes, thereby producing multiple conceptions of the relationship between land and social relations. These conceptions both reformulate the category of landscape and reveal the contributions of literary and nonliterary texts to an ongoing ideological struggle over the ways in which land can mean' (publisher's blurb).
