{"product_id":"strange-footing-seeta-chaganti-9780226548043","title":"Strange Footing: Poetic Form and Dance in the Late Middle Ages","description":"For premodern audiences, poetic form did not exist solely as meter, stanzas, or rhyme scheme. Rather, the form of a poem emerged as an experience, one generated when an audience immersed in a culture of dance encountered a poetic text. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Exploring the complex relationship between medieval dance and medieval poetry, \u003ci\u003eStrange Footing\u003c\/i\u003e argues that the intersection of texts and dance produced an experience of poetic form based in disorientation, asymmetry, and even misstep. Medieval dance guided audiences to approach poetry not in terms of the body's regular marking of time and space, but rather in the irregular and surprising forces of virtual motion around, ahead of, and behind the dancing body. Reading medieval poems through artworks, paintings, and sculptures depicting dance, Seeta Chaganti illuminates texts that have long eluded our full understanding, inviting us to inhabit their strange footings askew of conventional space and time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eStrange Footing\u003c\/i\u003e deploys the motion of dance to change how we read medieval poetry, generating a new theory of poetic form for medieval studies and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seeta Chaganti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022654804X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226548043\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Seeta Chaganti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075974033663,"sku":"9780226548043","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38d2d930-b1cb-4a79-9254-817075dafb29.jpg?v=1685462481","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/strange-footing-seeta-chaganti-9780226548043","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
