The Romance of Origins: Language and Sexual Difference in Middle English LiteratureUniversity of Pennsylvania Press, 1994 - 214 Seiten 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. |
