As Marjorie Curry Woods convincingly argues, the decision of Geoffrey of Vinsauf (fl. 1200) to write his rhetorical treatise in verse resulted in a unique combination of rhetorical doctrine, poetic examples, and creative exercises that proved malleable enough to inspire teachers for three centuries. Based on decades of research, this book excerpts, translates, and analyzes teachers' notes and commentaries in the more than two hundred extant manuscripts of the text\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e We learn the reasons for the popularity of the \u003ci\u003ePoetria nova\u003c\/i\u003e among medieval and early Renaissance teachers, how prose as well as verse genres were taught, why the \u003ci\u003ePoetria nova\u003c\/i\u003e was a required text in central European universities, its attractions for early modern scholars and historians, and how we might still learn from it today. Woods' monumental achievement will allow modern scholars to see the \u003ci\u003ePoetria nova\u003c\/i\u003e as earlier Europeans did: a witty and perennially popular text central to the experience of almost every student.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marjorie Curry Woods\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.92d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814254806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWoods, Marjorie Curry:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Marjorie Curry Woods is professor of English and comparative literature at The University of Texas at Austin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ohio State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40180678393971,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_9824debd-f9bc-4d47-9e19-df500247b667.jpg?v=1655471918","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/classroom-commentaries-teaching-the-poetria-nova-across-medieval-and-renaissance-europe-9780814254806","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
