{"product_id":"parisiana-poetria-john-of-garland-9780674238152","title":"Parisiana Poetria","description":"The \u003ci\u003eParisiana poetria, \u003c\/i\u003e first published around 1220, expounds the medieval theory of poetry \u003ci\u003e(ars poetica)\u003c\/i\u003e and summarizes early thirteenth-century thought about writing. While the text draws on predecessors such as the \u003ci\u003eRhetorica ad Herennium, \u003c\/i\u003e Horace's \u003ci\u003eArs poetica, \u003c\/i\u003e and work by Geoffrey of Vinsauf, its style and content reveal the unique experience of its author, John of Garland, a prominent teacher of the language arts at the University of Paris. John was also a well-read poet with broad tastes, and his passion for poetry, as well as for fine prose composition, is on display throughout the \u003ci\u003eParisiana poetria\u003c\/i\u003e. This treatise is the only thoroughgoing attempt to unite three distinct arts--quantitative poetry, rhythmic poetry, and prose composition, especially of letters--under a single set of rules. The sections on low, middle, and high style, illustrated by his \"Wheel of Virgil,\" have attracted wide attention; and his long account of rhymed poetry is the most complete that has survived. This volume presents the most authoritative edition of the Latin text alongside a fresh English translation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John of Garland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 067423815X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674238152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 1.20d","brand":"John of Garland","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44491673665791,"sku":"9780674238152","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_441e0f49-03c2-4dd7-86bd-ba29dd606b0f.jpg?v=1699452564","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/parisiana-poetria-john-of-garland-9780674238152","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
