By following Nietzche's definition of Baroque as a poetic \"style\" found in any period and country, and the concept of art as allegory, the author approaches the analysis of these poems using allegorical reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe application of this non-traditional method of investigation and analysis has produced ground-breaking implications in the area of literary criticism, paving the way for future additions to the growing body of work on Baroque poetry. Therefore, it is likely to hold great appeal to literature researchers and scholars, as well as those studying Tang poetry, Metaphysical poetry and Comparative Studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 126\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 27, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42164187267207,"sku":"9781622737734","price":73.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/34cdbd1ef49c58f53e0dc1ec52f4fa87.webp?v=1733303640","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/metaphysical-and-mid-late-tang-poetry-a-baroque-comparison-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
