{"product_id":"riches-of-rhyme-the","title":"Riches of Rhyme, The","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is about the ways in which rhyme in French verse produces shapes or interferes with meaning - a topic which, despite its centrality, has hitherto received little critical attention.  Part 1 examines those features which are peculiar to French rhyme - the different degrees of rhyme, rhyme gender, the frequency of rhymes on suffixes and endings - and explores the contributions they make to a poem's structure and semantic productivity.  Its concern is\n\u003cbr\u003etwofold: to test the adequacy of the current methods of classifying rhymes and to demonstrate how comprehensive interpretations of a poem can be constructed from its rhyme-data.  But wider issues are also\n\u003cbr\u003econfronted, including the relationships between rhyme and textuality, between rhyme and truth, between rhyme and rhythm.  Part 2 analyses specific plays, poems and collections of poems: Racine's Mithridate, Moliere's Les Femmes Savantes, Voltaire's Poeme sur le Désastre de Lisbonne, Verlaine's Fêtes galantes and Aragon's Les Yeux d'Elsa.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156336242926,"sku":"9780198158530","price":209.52,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198158530.jpg?v=1706248580","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/riches-of-rhyme-the","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
