{"product_id":"the-market-in-poetry-in-shahzad-bashir-9781108948647","title":"The Market in Poetry in the Persian World","description":"'Poetic speech is a pearl, connected to the king's ear.' This statement gestures to words as objects of material value sought by those with power and resources. The author provides a sense for the texture of the Persian world by discussing what made poetry precious. By focusing on reports on poets' lives, they illuminate the social scene in which poetry was produced and consumed. The discussion elicits poetry's close connections to political and religious authority, economic exchange, and the articulation of gender. At the broadest level, the study substantiates the interdependency between cultural and material reproduction of society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shahzad Bashir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108948642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108948647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.18d","brand":"Shahzad Bashir","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046927593727,"sku":"9781108948647","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1fde3fce-4ddc-4ae0-8f55-7e7896fee9be.jpg?v=1684987290","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-market-in-poetry-in-shahzad-bashir-9781108948647","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
