{"product_id":"borrowed-objects-and-the-art-denis-ferhatovic-9781526179142","title":"Borrowed Objects and the Art of Poetry: Spolia in Old English Verse","description":"This study examines Exeter riddles, Anglo-Saxon biblical poems (Exodus, Andreas, Judith) and Beowulf in order to uncover the poetics of spolia, an imaginative use of recycled fictional artefacts to create sites of metatextual reflection. Old English poetry famously lacks an explicit ars poetica. This book argues that attention to particularly charged moments within texts - especially those concerned with translation, transformation and the layering of various pasts - yields a previously unrecognised means for theorising Anglo-Saxon poetic creativity. Borrowed objects and the art of poetry works at the intersections of materiality and poetics, balancing insights from thing theory and related approaches with close readings of passages from Old English texts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denis Ferhatovic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526179148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526179142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.41d","brand":"Denis Ferhatovic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44891004207359,"sku":"9781526179142","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2ef8b2cd-fc31-494e-b338-d8c88344542e.jpg?v=1709740650","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/borrowed-objects-and-the-art-denis-ferhatovic-9781526179142","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
