The content of the book moves beyond an analysis of enumerations and parallelisms as it provides an insight into relevant cultural processes, including the history of religion and literary conventions from Antiquity to Early Modernity. This allows seemingly distant topics, such as comparative versification and European identity, to be related. Theoretical considerations are accompanied by examples mostly taken from Latin, English, French, German, Iberian, Italian, Scandinavian and Slavic poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poetics of European litanic verse (genre structure, versification, rhetorical figures) - The philosophy of European litanic verse - Space-time matrix within which the litanic world is depicted - Latin, English, French, German, Iberian, Italian, Scandinavian and Slavic poetry from Antiquity to Early Modernity\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044424778071,"sku":"9783631756249","price":69.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/european-litanic-verse-a-different-space-time-9783631756249","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
