First published in 1986, this title examines a set of English
Renaissance texts by Shakespeare, Spenser, Herbert, Marvell and
Milton, within the theoretic framework of postmodern thought.
Following an opening chapter that argues for the value of this
conjunction as a way of understanding literary history, subsequent
chapters draw upon Jacques Derrida s deconstruction of
photocentrism and Jacques Lacan s analysis of the agency of the
letter to offer fully theorized readings. Throughout, there is a
sustained concern with the transformations of such Ovidian figures
as Narcissus and Echo, Perseus and Medusa, Orpheus and Eurydice,
and with the echo effects of Virgilian pastoral, as paradigms for
the interplay of voice and writing. "
