Sounds are weighted with meaning, offering a complex system of allusions. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlaywrights such as Jonson and Shakespeare developed increasingly experimental soundscapes, from the storms of \u003ci\u003eKing Lear \u003c\/i\u003e(1605) and \u003ci\u003ePericles\u003c\/i\u003e (1607) to the explosive laboratory of \u003ci\u003eThe Alchemist \u003c\/i\u003e(1610). Yet, sound is dependent on the subjectivity of listeners; this book is conscious of the complex relationship between sound as made and sound as heard. Sound effects should not resound from scene to scene without examination, any more than a pun can be reshaped in dialogue without acknowledgement of its shifting connotations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book listens to sound as a rhetorical device, able to penetrate the ears and persuade the mind, to influence and to affect.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920518430878,"sku":"ING-9781526159182","price":194.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526159182.jpg?v=1782822967","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526159182","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
