Inspired by Boethius? Consolation of Philosophy , the prosimetrum writers applied his literary techniques to the ethical and anthropological concerns of their own era, producing texts of great artistry in the process. This book investigates the rise of the Boethian impulse in Latin, the innovations of the twelfth-century writers, the difficulties that arose when they attempted to recapture the certainty that characterized the Consolation , and the survival of aspects of this literary mode in later Latin and vernacular literature. 410 0$aMedieval and Renaissance authors and texts ;$vv. 3. 606 $aProse poems, Latin (Medieval and modern)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aProse poems, Latin (Medieval and modern)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809/.02 700 $aBalint$b Bridget K$01628966 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824678703321 996 $aOrdering chaos$93966398 997 $aUNINA
