{"product_id":"alone-together-henry-berlin-9781487509675","title":"Alone Together: Poetics of the Passions in Late Medieval Iberia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe turn of the fifteenth century saw an explosion of literature throughout Iberia that was not just sentimental, but \u003ci\u003eabout\u003c\/i\u003e sentiment. \u003ci\u003eAlone Together\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the political, ethical, and poetic dimensions of this phenomenon, which was among the most important of the substantial changes in intellectual and literary culture taking place in the crowns of Portugal, Castile, and Aragon. With careful analyses of lyric poetry, sentimental prose, and wide-ranging treatises in multiple languages, this study foregrounds the dense web of relations among these genres and linguistic and cultural traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on Stoic and early monastic thought, authors such as the Marqu駸 de Santillana, Ausi灣 March, and Alfonso de Madrigal explored the unifying potential of shared emotion in an ethical rehabilitation that cut across the personal and political, exalting friendly conversation, civic communication, and collective poetic composition. In his readings of these authors, Henry Berlin references recent work on lyric theory and the history and theory of emotion, from classical antiquity to the modern day. An exploration of the political and poetic potential of shared emotion, \u003ci\u003eAlone Together\u003c\/i\u003e shows how a heuristic focus on the notion of passion is illuminating for broader ongoing discussions about the nature of emotion, the lyric, and subjectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry Berlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487509677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487509675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Henry Berlin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982401569023,"sku":"9781487509675","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d51631d6-dee2-40d6-98a6-9921d17c8420.jpg?v=1683260948","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alone-together-henry-berlin-9781487509675","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
