This study traces the major influences upon this important work of art, including the backdrop of early fourteenth-century Northern Italian politics. It examines the gradual weakening of the figure of Charlemagne in the poem as a reflection, above all, of the diplomatic and military tensions between France and the early rulers of Milan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claudia Boscolo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 090757033X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780907570332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Aevum Monographs \/ Ssmll\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.81d","brand":"Claudia Boscolo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48483741237503,"sku":"9780907570332","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a402fe2a-548c-49e7-99fd-b2adacac6d79.jpg?v=1778040349","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lentree-despagne-claudia-boscolo-9780907570332","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
