{"product_id":"space-to-speke-jerry-root-9780820437118","title":"«Space to Speke»: The Confessional Subject in Medieval Literature","description":"The confessional practice that develops after the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215 makes possible a new cultural and literary discourse of the self. This book explores the impact of confessional discourse on fourteenth-century European literature. The approach is interdisciplinary. The author studies examples of the  confessional  texts of Augustine and Abelard as well as the vernacular didactic literature on confession after 1215. This literature creates a new and more popular language of the self. The literary texts of Chaucer, Machaut, and Juan Ruiz clearly demonstrate the influence of a confessional  self  and use the language of confession to explore and construct the self as literary subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerry Root\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820437115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820437118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.36h x 6.33w x 0.81d","brand":"Jerry Root","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48483718332671,"sku":"9780820437118","price":82.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_075188e0-23b3-459f-830f-586c0c83982c.jpg?v=1778040205","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/space-to-speke-jerry-root-9780820437118","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
