Beyond consolation

Using as her starting point the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, Melissa F. Zeiger examines modern transformations of poetic elegy, particularly as they reflect historical changes in the politics of gender and sexuality. Although her focus is primarily on nineteenth- and twentieth-century poetry, the scope of her investigation is grand: from John Milton's "Lycidas" to very recently written AIDS and breast cancer elegies.

המשפט הראשון: During the past twenty years, elegies have been more prolifically written, intensively studied, and resourcefully theorized than poems in practically any other traditional genre.
