{"product_id":"speculative-poetry-and-the-modern-dennis-wilson-wise-9781683939856","title":"Speculative Poetry and the Modern Alliterative Revival: A Critical Anthology","description":"If a literary movement arises but no one notices, is it still a movement? In \u003ci\u003eSpeculative Poetry and the Modern Alliterative Revival: A Critical Anthology\u003c\/i\u003e, Dennis Wilson Wise argues that the answer is \"yes.\" Over the last ten decades, poets working in fantasy, science fiction, and horror have collectively brought forth a revival in alliterative poetics akin to what once happened in the mid-fourteenth century. Altogether, this anthology collects for the first time over fifty speculative poets--several of whom are previously unpublished--from across North America and Europe. Alongside such established names as C. S. Lewis, Patrick Rothfuss, Edwin Morgan, Poul Anderson, Jo Walton, P. K. Page, and W. H. Auden, this anthology includes representative texts from cultural movements such as contemporary neo-Paganism and the Society for Creative Anachronism. A lengthy critical introduction by the editor--written accessibly for a general audience--explains and contextualizes the Modern Revival for critics and readers alike, and extensive footnotes offer aids to anyone new to medieval history or Norse mythology. Overall, this indispensable anthology--the first major academic book to focus on speculative poetry--establishes where the medieval meets the modern in the hitherto unrecognized Modern Alliterative Revival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dennis Wilson Wise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1683939859\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683939856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fairleigh Dickinson University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11h x 1.11w x 1.11d","brand":"Dennis Wilson Wise","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47072284803327,"sku":"9781683939856","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_676da95f-bace-447f-9240-4faf88076b83.jpg?v=1753416347","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/speculative-poetry-and-the-modern-dennis-wilson-wise-9781683939856","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
