{"product_id":"rituals-images-and-words-fw-kent-9782503509075","title":"Rituals, Images, and Words: Varieties of Cultural Expression in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe","description":"This collection of essays by Australian scholars offers a wealth of contemporary perspectives on cultural communication amongst men and women in late medieval and early modern Europe. Essays dealing with Florence and Venice, with Rome, Lucca, Ferrara, and Bologna, as well as with Germany, England, and Lorraine, draw attention to the array of cultural expressions which competed for space and influence across European societies. These rich studies demonstrate the vitality of cultural production during a period of rapid and often violent transition. Variously focussed on formal religious rites, on painting, sculpture, and woodcuts, on sermons, poetry, and letters, the contributors pursue cultural meaning as a matter of social identity and social context - as a performance that can be shown to affirm and also exclude particular topical values. Rituals, Images and Words highlights the complex and subtle power of rhetorical forms in the history and historiography of late medieval and early modern Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fw Kent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 250350907X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782503509075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brepols Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.54w x 1.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 38","brand":"Fw Kent","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48066277146879,"sku":"9782503509075","price":114.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d78cc8af-4dbd-4cb8-8845-697dc3c61e53.jpg?v=1768678083","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rituals-images-and-words-fw-kent-9782503509075","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
