The essays in this groundbreaking collection stage conversations
between the thought of the controversial feminist philosopher,
linguist and psychoanalyst Luce Irigaray and premodern writers. The
authors address writers ranging from Empedocles and Homer, to
Shakespeare, Spenser and Donne. They explore both the
pre-Enlightenment roots of Luce Irigaray's thought, and their
impact that her writings have had on our understanding of ancient,
medieval and Renaissance culture.
Luce Irigaray has been a major figure in Anglo-American literary
theory, philosophy and gender studies ever since her germinal
works, "Speculum of the Other Woman," and "This Sex Which Is Not
One," were published in English translation in 1985. This
collection is the first sustained examination, both of Irigaray's
crucial relationship to premodern discourses underpinning Western
culture, and of the transformative effect she has had on scholars
working in pre-Enlightenment periods. Like Irigaray herself, the
essays work at the intersections of gender, theory, historicism and
language. This collection offers powerful ways of understanding
premodern texts through Irigaray's theories that allow us to
imagine our past and present relationship to economics, science,
psychoanalysis, gender, ethics and social communities in new ways.
