{"product_id":"lyric-humanity-from-virgil-to-ullrich-langer-9781009225250","title":"Lyric Humanity from Virgil to Flaubert","description":"From the Georgics of Virgil to Flaubert's landscapes of happiness, Ullrich Langer argues that lyric representation holds a particular power to address our humanity. Ranging across a vast chronology, the book investigates how such poetry and prose activates our capacities for empathy, equity, irony and reasoning, while educating us in pleasure and helping us comprehend death. Each chapter constitutes a fresh encounter with some of the most celebrated texts of European literary history, demonstrating how the lyrical works, and what it elicits in us. Through deft rhetorical and philological analysis, the study presents the value of literary studies for both ethical purposes and aesthetic ends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ullrich Langer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009225251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009225250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Ullrich Langer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44131095642367,"sku":"9781009225250","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31142e1c-91f5-44bd-a13e-7c273a07105a.jpg?v=1687472981","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lyric-humanity-from-virgil-to-ullrich-langer-9781009225250","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
