This study tackles the problem of the Song of Song's structure by
beginning at the bottom, the microstructure of the Song, rather
than at the top. By employing a new type of rhetorical method,
Professor Roberts defines each of the minimal structural units of
the Song by identifying the formal poetic features that mark its
opening and closing, coupled with the poetic features that create
cohesion within it. Moving up the Song's structural ladder, larger
units are identified with the same technique. While this study does
not identify an overall structure, it does demonstrate how
recognition of these formal structuring devices can help the
interpreter define the structural units of the Song with far
greater precision. The final chapter presents a catalog of these
formal, poetic features that typically mark the opening and closure
of structural units in the Song, as well as those that effect
cohesion. Within is a catalog that can be refined and enlarged by
application of the same method to other poetic texts. Other
exegetical insights abound. Professor Roberts demonstrates a more
highly structured pattern of the wasfs than has been recognized
heretofore, and proposes a new interpretation of the adjuration
refrain. He identifies a type of phonological anacrusis employed
numerous times in the Song, and addresses almost every
text-critical issue in the Song, many of which are resolved by
attention to poetic structuring devices.
