Preaching the Converted provides a sustained literary analysis of the book's prose homilies and demonstrates that they employ rhetorical techniques commonly associated with vernacular verse. The study argues that the dazzling textual complexity of these homilies rivals the most accomplished examples of Old English poetry.Highlighting the use of word play, verbal and structural repetition, elaborate catalogues, and figurative language, Samantha Zacher's study of the Vercelli Book fills a gap in the history of English preaching by foregrounding the significance of these prose homilies as an intermediary form. Also analyzing the Latin and vernacular sources behind the Vercelli texts to reveal the theological and formal interests informing the collection as a whole, Preaching the Converted is a rigorous examination of Old English homiletic rhetoric and poetics. 410 0$aToronto Anglo-Saxon series ;$v1. 606 $aEnglish prose literature$yOld English, ca. 450-1100$xCriticism, Textual 606 $aSermons, English (Old)$xCriticism, Textual 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish prose literature$xCriticism, Textual. 615 0$aSermons, English (Old)$xCriticism, Textual. 676 $a829/.8009 700 $aZacher$b Samantha$f1973-$0990087 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456823003321 996 $aPreaching the converted$92264614 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01239nam a2200289 i 4500 001 991001527709707536 005 20020502195917.0 008 951128s1992 it ||| | ita 020 $a881403883X 035 $ab11525939-39ule_inst 035 $aPRUMB62835$9ExL 040 $aScuola per assistenti sociali$bita 082 0 $a361.3019 100 1 $aSantinello, Massimo$0251405 245 10$aServizi territoriali e rischio di burnout :$bfattori di stress lavorativo negli operatori socio-sanitari /$cMassimo Santinello, Roberta Furlotti ; presentazione di Luigi Pedrabissi 260 $aMilano :$bGiuffrè,$c1992 300 $aXI, 182 p. ;$c24 cm. 490 0 $aPsicologia sociale e clinica ;$v64 650 4$aOperatori sociali - Professione$xAspetti psicologici 700 1 $aFurlotti, Roberta$eauthor$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0509653 700 1 $aPedrabissi, Luigi 907 $a.b11525939$b01-03-17$c01-07-02 912 $a991001527709707536 945 $aLE024 SS/A III 53$g1$i2024000007263$lle021$nex DUSS$o-$pE0.00$q-$rn$sm $t0$u0$v0$w0$x0$y.i11722204$z01-07-02 996 $aServizi territoriali e rischio di burnout$91451760 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale021$b01-01-95$cm$da $e-$fita$git $h0$i1
