{"product_id":"the-life-significance-of-french-marlies-kronegger-9780820406398","title":"The Life Significance of French Baroque Poetry","description":"With baroque poets, the vocation of literature seems to be the exaltation of the elemental significance of life and of the human spirit. The tetrad pattern of the four elements - water, fire, air, and earth - provides their views of the cosmos as a whole, imprinting the elements' struggle with one another upon every level of creation. The four elements are the matrix of their relations to both themselves and a primordial Being. Their universe is in essence a universe of tension and uneasiness, for it is a universe of creation, revolt, and exaltation. Man does not simply submit to the forces of nature but is able by spiritual energy to regulate and control them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marlies Kronegger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820406392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820406398\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 08\/01\/1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Marlies Kronegger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453407768831,"sku":"9780820406398","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d6e3eba-a26e-42e1-a6f6-9cd0c1e8d030.jpg?v=1777300062","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-life-significance-of-french-marlies-kronegger-9780820406398","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
