In this masterful new study of the ancient poetry of The Song of
Songs, Elaine T. James explores the Song's underlying interest in
the natural world. Engaging with the fields of geography, landscape
architecture, and literature, James critiques the tendency of
scholars to reify a perceived dichotomy between "nature" and
"culture" and instead argues that the poetic attention to landscape
indicates an awareness of a viewer. Nature is here a poetic device
that informs James's close-readings of agrarianism, gardens,
cities, social control, and feminism and the gaze in the Song. With
this two-fold emphasis on landscape and lyric, Landscape of the
Song of Songs shows how the Song persistently envisions a world in
which human lovers are embedded in the natural world, complexly
enfolded in relationships of fragility and care.
