Description - Macaronic Poetry by James Appleton Morgan
Macaronic Poetry by James Appleton Morgan is a comprehensive study of the genre of macaronic poetry, which involves the mixing of different languages in a single poem. The book explores the history and development of macaronic poetry from its origins in medieval Latin and vernacular literature to its use in modern literature and popular culture. Morgan provides a detailed analysis of the linguistic and literary techniques used in macaronic poetry, including puns, wordplay, and code-switching. He also examines the social and cultural contexts in which macaronic poetry has been produced and consumed, including its use in religious, political, and satirical contexts. The book includes numerous examples of macaronic poetry from a variety of historical periods and literary traditions, as well as discussions of the work of major macaronic poets such as John Skelton, Rabelais, and James Joyce. Overall, Macaronic Poetry is a valuable resource for scholars and students of literature, linguistics, and cultural studies who are interested in the history and aesthetics of this fascinating and often overlooked genre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
