Strange Footing: Poetic Form and Dance in the Late Middle Ages by Seeta Chaganti

Description: Strange Footing by Seeta Chaganti Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description For premodern audiences, poetic form did not exist solely as meter, stanzas, or rhyme scheme. Rather, the form of a poem emerged as an experience, one generated when an audience immersed in a culture of dance encountered a poetic text. Exploring the complex relationship between medieval dance and medieval poetry, Strange Footing argues that the intersection of texts and dance produced an experience of poetic form based in disorientation, asymmetry, and even misstep. Medieval dance guided audiences to approach poetry not in terms of the bodys regular marking of time and space, but rather in the irregular and surprising forces of virtual motion around, ahead of, and behind the dancing body. Reading medieval poems through artworks, paintings, and sculptures depicting dance, Seeta Chaganti illuminates texts that have long eluded our full understanding, inviting us to inhabit their strange footings askew of conventional space and time.Strange Footing deploys the motion of dance to change how we read medieval poetry, generating a new theory of poetic form for medieval studies and beyond. Author Biography Seeta Chaganti is associate professor of English at the University of California, Davis. She is the author of The Medieval Poetics of the Reliquary and the editor of Medieval Poetics and Social Practice.
