{"product_id":"mother-courage-and-her-children-2","title":"Mother Courage and Her Children","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this new translation of Brecht's great 1939 anti-war play Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder by the distinguished Scottish poet Tom Leonard, the Thirty Years War becomes the War on Terror and Mother Courage is a working-class woman from the West of Scotland speaking in the broad, bold Glaswegian dialect. It is a play about the language of politics and the politics of language. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest known for his early dialectic poems such as 'The Six o'clock News', Tom Leonard has woven into his translation the arguments about culture and society that have run as a thread through all his work for almost fifty years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTom Leonard's many books include a fictional biography of James Thomson and a pioneering anthology of neglected nineteenth century Scottish poetry, Radical Renfrew. His Intimate Voices: Selected Works 1965-83 was banned from Central Region school libraries in the same year that it shared the Scottish Book of the Year Award. In 2010 his Outside the Narrative: Poems 1965-2009 was the Scottish Poetry Book of the Year. A collection of his literary and political criticism was recently published as Definite Articles: Selected Prose 1973-2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bertolt-brecht-books\"\u003eBertolt Brecht\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smokestack Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780957574762\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Smokestack Books","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £4.22","offer_id":47915155882161,"sku":"SB-0957574762-C3","price":4.22,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0957574762.jpg?v=1789696425","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/mother-courage-and-her-children-2","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
