Hewing closely to Peter Brook's notion of the bare or empty stage, Esther Fernndez and Adrienne L. Martn argue that Cervantes's omnipresent concern with theatricality manifests not only in his drama but also in the myriad metatheatrical instances dispersed throughout his prose works. In doing so, \u003ci\u003eDrawing the Curtain\u003c\/i\u003e sheds light on the ways in which Cervantes forces his readers to engage with themes that are central to his life and works, including love, freedom, truth, confinement, and otherness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919521136798,"sku":"ING-9781487508777","price":140.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781487508777.jpg?v=1782813453","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781487508777","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
