Farewell to Shulamit: Spatial and Social Diversity in the Song of Songs

Carsten L. Wilke, "Farewell to Shulamit: Spatial and Social Diversity in the Song of Songs"
2017 | ISBN-10: 311050054X | 155 pages | EPUB | 13 MB

While most readings of the biblical Song of Songs merge this enigmatic cycle of love poems into a single couple`s dialogue, this new interpretation reveals an artful fresco of ancient society alternating between courtly, urban, rural, and pastoral spaces with their distinct inhabitants. Contextualized in the religious and cultural horizons of a Hellenistic borderland, the Song places a skeptical emphasis on human diversity and communicative Eros.
