Covering a range of cultural traditions from Britain, Ireland, North America, Japan and the Caribbean, among others, this valuable collection considers ancient genres such as the elegy, the ode, the ghazal, and the ballad, before moving on to Medieval and Renaissance genres originally invented or codified by the Troubadours or poets who followed in their wake. The book also approaches genres driven by theme, such as the calypso and found poetry. Each chapter begins by defining the genre in its initial stages, charting historical developments and finally assessing its latest mutations, be they structural, thematic, parodic, assimilative, or subversive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erik Martiny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1444336738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781444336733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley-Blackwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.10w x 1.60d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erik Martiny","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44123670053119,"sku":"9781444336733","price":61.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_510a8d31-dc43-4987-9a01-910a9b7e7eb0.jpg?v=1687432181","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-companion-to-poetic-genre-erik-martiny-9781444336733","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
