{"product_id":"the-broken-angel-ursula-franklin-9780807892268","title":"The Broken Angel: Myth and Method in Val?ry","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Broken Angel\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book-length examination of a mythopoetic configuration that pervades Valery's entire textual universe. The Angel is linked to almost every one of its themes and informs all of its modes, which, in turn, form and deform it. In delineating the textual traces of these transformations and the construction and destruction of the symbolic figure inherited from tradition, Franklin links its \u003ci\u003edefigurations\u003c\/i\u003e to Valery's method of composition: the weaving of anterior segments into texts, many of which remain open-ended and fragmentary. She shows how the broken form of Valery's texts on the Angel is conditioned by the very tensions inherent in the theme. These tensions are disclosed by a reading that also reveals the existential situation and psychological predispositions of an \u003ci\u003eEgo scriptor\u003c\/i\u003e whose Broken Angel emerges from broken texts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ursula Franklin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807892262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807892268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unc Department of Romance Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Ursula Franklin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46721272545535,"sku":"9780807892268","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5473d939-7f56-4251-8bf8-5bccac1d7ba1.jpg?v=1742752367","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-broken-angel-ursula-franklin-9780807892268","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
