{"product_id":"writing-dancing-and-performing-death-catherine-lzsglu-9789004734647","title":"Writing, Dancing and Performing Death Across Late Medieval Europe: Texts and Contexts","description":"Our understanding of the medieval Danse macabre is changing with the recent discoveries of a theatrical script from Savoy, and of a related Castilian poem. This collection of texts from the Burgundian realm, France and Savoy, England, Castile-Aragon and the Empire, also contains critical essays that examine these texts and contexts from the fourteenth to the late fifteenth centuries.\u003cbr\u003e This volume re-examines the development and impact of the Danse macabre within broader considerations of performance and poetry that focus on Death as a protagonist. It includes texts never before studied or translated and moves beyond the traditional focus on Paris and London to reassess the wide dissemination of this tradition. The volume complements a collection of studies by the same editors (Oosterwijk, Ungeheuer and Léglu) of the visual tradition across Europe, from Burgundy to Finland, \u003ci\u003eDeath and the Danse Macabre in Late Medieval Art: Dissemination and Reception\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Léglu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004734643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004734647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.10w x 0.75d","brand":"Catherine Léglu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965948248319,"sku":"9789004734647","price":136.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b2221dc7-61c3-4ac8-815e-ddbb6ba37ecf.jpg?v=1767285913","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-dancing-and-performing-death-catherine-lzsglu-9789004734647","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
