Abandoned Women and Poetic Tradition (Paperback)

At the heart of poetic tradition is a figure of abandonment, a
woman forsaken and out of control. She appears in writings ancient
and modern, in the East and the West, in high art and popular
culture produced by women and by men. What accounts for her
perennial fascination? What is her function--"in" poems and "for"
writers? Lawrence Lipking suggests many possibilities. In this
figure he finds a partial record of women's experience, an
instrument for the expression of religious love and yearning, a
voice for psychological fears, and, finally, a model for the poet.
Abandoned women inspire new ways of reading poems and poetic
tradition.
