Their powerful creations form a significant corpus of medieval Italian vernacular poetry only now being fully explored. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on a wide range of literary, historical, linguistic, and anthropological approaches, Vettori crafts an innovative portrait of the artists as legends and as poets. He investigates the essential features of emerging Franciscan tradition, in motifs of the body, metaphors of matrimony, and musical harmony. Vettori also explores the relationship of Francis's poetic mission to Genesis, the relationship between erotic love and ecstatic union in both poets' work, and the poetics of the sermon.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlessandro Vettori\u003c\/strong\u003e teaches in the Department of Italian, Rutgers University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 226\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.89 x 9.34 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 23, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52987858452787,"sku":"9780823223251","price":162.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/KeFp1HtrNd9780823223251.webp?v=1769072303","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/poets-of-divine-love-franciscan-mystical-poetry-of-the-thirteenth-century-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
