Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"In her fluency in the language of feminism, psychoanalysis, and deconstruction, Gayle Margherita is one of the most articulate and persuasive readers of Middle English poetry I have encountered in a good while; in its demonstration of the value and validity of these languages in analyzing and understanding Middle English poetry, The Romance of Origins is one of the most exciting and important books to appear in our field in years."--R.A. Shoaf

Reseña del editor

Subtitled Language and sexual difference in Middle English literature', this book explores the relationship between sexual and historical fantasies in several medieval English texts: Chaucer's Book of the Duchess and Troilus and Criseyde, the anonymous Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, The Book of Margery Kempe, The Life and the Passion of St Juliana, and several of the secular Harley Lyrics. Margherita takes feminist, psychoanalytic and post-structuralist angles in her criticism, applying current theoretical and political concerns to these texts.
