Description: Earthing the Cosmic Queen explores the connection of
poet, world, and text in the Song of Songs based on the process of
reading as understood by Relevance Theory. This linguistic theory
reveals new insights into the Song of Songs by tracing associations
between the poet and her world. The main portion of this book
involves a discourse analysis of the entire Song for the purpose of
revealing the poet's cognitive environment and communicative
intentions. Seven sites of discourse are explored: entreaties,
wasf, the daughters, royalty, the brothers, losing and finding, and
the Garden. The Garden of Eden strongly figures and could be
considered a flashpoint of engagement. There is suggestion in the
text that there is a crisis for the poet regarding her place in
ancient Hebrew society. Thus, the Garden of Eden texts and the Song
of Songs are carefully contrasted to highlight the contours of her
radical message.
