{"product_id":"reading-colour","title":"Reading Colour","description":"\u003cp\u003eColour is a problem for poetry, where – unlike in painting, sculpture or film – it\u003cbr\u003eis marked by its absence. This absence raises questions that have often been\u003cbr\u003eoverlooked in the study of colour: how do writers navigate the invisibility of\u003cbr\u003ecolour in text? What aesthetic commitments do certain attitudes to colour\u003cbr\u003eexpose? And how, in the face of its absence, do we read colour?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ambitious and exciting study addresses these questions, analysing the\u003cbr\u003euse of colour language in the work of Stefan George, Rainer Maria Rilke,\u003cbr\u003eWassily Kandinsky and Else Lasker-Schüler to tease out how these poets\u003cbr\u003eunderstood poetic production, and how they negotiated the relations between\u003cbr\u003epoem, reader and world. Covering the poetry, prose, translation, literary and art\u003cbr\u003ecriticism and theory of these and other writers central to European literature\u003cbr\u003eat the turn of the twentieth century, Reading Colour sheds new light on poetic\u003cbr\u003epractice of the period, but also uses colour to open up an understanding of\u003cbr\u003ehow poetic language works, and to ask how we read poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book was the winner of the 2018 Early Career Researcher Prize in German\u003cbr\u003eStudies, a collaboration between the Institute for German Studies at the\u003cbr\u003eUniversity of Birmingham and Peter Lang.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang International Academic Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223727657304,"sku":"9781788746755","price":79.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781788746755_f26c64b4-d418-43b7-b530-0b3d0d5d81e9.jpg?v=1777086947","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/reading-colour","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
