{"product_id":"medieval-twitter-alicia-spencer-hall-9781942401957","title":"Medieval Twitter","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis pioneering monograph provocatively explodes current research paradigms for the modern and the medieval by showing that Twitter shares key similarities with medieval literary forms, texts, and narrative techniques. Analyzing tweets with medieval texts, and vice versa, Spencer-Hall initiates readers into an innovative methodology of interdisciplinary literary criticism, posing vital questions about the politics of medievalism today. Chapters include brand-new readings of \u003cem\u003eThe Owl and the Nightingale\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eChastelaine de Vergi\u003c\/em\u003e, and Marie de France's \u003cem\u003eLa?stic\u003c\/em\u003e, and arresting insights into troubadour style, \u003cem\u003eMargery Kempe\u003c\/em\u003e, and #MedievalTwitter. The book culminates in a medieval(ist) reading of Twitter's premature demise, and Elon Musk's medievalism. Throughout, points of contact and divergence are dissected, re-contextualizing the socio-cultural meaning of communication and texts across the temporal divide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alicia Spencer-Hall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1942401957\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942401957\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ARC Humanities Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Alicia Spencer-Hall","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46603006116095,"sku":"9781942401957","price":143.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e498ec09-8774-477f-9b58-99c1d1bfbb28.jpg?v=1739695922","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/medieval-twitter-alicia-spencer-hall-9781942401957","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
