Their powerful creations form a significant corpus of medieval Italian vernacular poetry only now being fully explored. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on a wide range of literary, historical, linguistic, and anthropological approaches, Vettori crafts an innovative portrait of the artists as legends and as poets. He investigates the essential features of emerging Franciscan tradition, in motifs of the body, metaphors of matrimony, and musical harmony. Vettori also explores the relationship of Francis's poetic mission to Genesis, the relationship between erotic love and ecstatic union in both poets' work, and the poetics of the sermon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alessandro Vettori\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 5.98w x 0.89d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823223251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlessandro Vettori\u003c\/strong\u003e teaches in the Department of Italian, Rutgers University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45022838521971,"sku":"9780823223251","price":163.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_3e574366-3a68-43e3-8928-61245020b513.jpg?v=1779280980","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/poets-of-divine-love-franciscan-mystical-poetry-of-the-thirteenth-century-9780823223251","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
