The \"tears\" of sovereignty are the exegetical tropes produced and performed on the English stages and Spanish corrales of the seventeenth century through which we continue to view sovereignty today.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Tears of Sovereignty: Perspectives of Power in Renaissance Drama | Philip Lorenz | Hardcover | 9780823251308 | Used: Good | Back Stacks I 1771107","offer_id":49550777122968,"sku":"1771107","price":174.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51wyTVad0AL.jpg?v=1784905552","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/tears-of-sovereignty-perspectives-of-power-in-renaissance-drama","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
