{"product_id":"pearl-simon-armitage-9781631492549","title":"Pearl: A New Verse Translation","description":"One of our most ingenious interpreters of Middle English, Oxford Professor of Poetry Simon Armitage is celebrated for his \"compulsively readable\" translations (\u003cem\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e). A perfect complement to his historic translation of \u003cem\u003eSir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl\u003c\/em\u003e reanimates another beloved Medieval English masterpiece thought to be by the same anonymous author and housed in the same original fourteenth-century manuscript. Honoring the rhythms and alliterative music of the original, Armitage's virtuosic translation describes a man mourning the loss of his Pearl--something that has \"slipped away.\" What follows is a tense, fascinating, and tender dialogue weaving through the throes of grief toward divine redemption. Intricate and endlessly connected, Armitage's lyrical translation is a circular and perfected whole, much like the pearl itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Armitage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1631492543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781631492549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Simon Armitage","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051300057343,"sku":"9781631492549","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aa43355d-976a-48ca-99ca-7285e3430644.jpg?v=1685012269","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pearl-simon-armitage-9781631492549","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
