Beginning with the first appearance of literary charm in the Sirens episode of the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e, Richard Beckman traces charm throughout canonical literature, examining the metamorphoses of charm through the millennia. The book examines the works of Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, Pope, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Proust, Joyce, Mann, and others, considering the multiplicity of ways charm is defined, depicted, and utilized by authors. Positioning these poems, dramas, and novels as case studies, Beckman reveals the mercurial yet enduring connotations of charm. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Beckman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030253449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030253448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave Pivot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.44d","brand":"Richard Beckman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073520693503,"sku":"9783030253448","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_abae1029-3135-456f-bdf7-6c3d3aa46354.jpg?v=1685448309","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/charm-in-literature-from-classical-richard-beckman-9783030253448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
