{"product_id":"afterlives-of-the-saints-julia-reinhard-lupton-9780804726436","title":"Afterlives of the Saints: Hagiography, Typology, and Renaissance Literature","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the ways in which the literary genre of hagiography and the hermeneutical paradigm of Biblical typology together entered into the construction of \"the Renaissance\" as a canon and period. It is not about saints' lives in themselves, as either literary or historical phenomena, but instead addresses the structural effects of hagiography in the secular literature of the Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe central texts analyzed--Boccaccio's Decameron, Vasari's Lives of the Artists, and Shakespeare's Measure for Measure and The Winter's Tale--all manifest key moments and aspects in the creation of a Renaissance canon for the post-Renaissance world. The epochal significance of these works, saturated in religious allusions as well as scenes of profane life and classical art, is shown to rest in neither the normative piety nor the subversive heresy of any of these writers, but rather in their crafting of myths of modernity precisely out of the religious material that formed such an important part of their daily vocabularies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Reinhard Lupton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804726434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804726436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.81d","brand":"Julia Reinhard Lupton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44302084145407,"sku":"9780804726436","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e1ba4a0-99ed-4268-a96f-c5410340adec.jpg?v=1695159424","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/afterlives-of-the-saints-julia-reinhard-lupton-9780804726436","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
