Description
This book will fascinate anyone interested in the Victorians or theory. Each chapter pairs a poet with a theorist: Robert Browning meets Jacques Derrida; Christina Rossetti encounters Luce Irigaray; Matthew Arnold is after Michel Foucault; Gerald Manley Hopkins dreams with Jacques Lacan; and Elizabeth Barrett Browning haunts Helene Cixous. -- .
Author Biography
John Schad is Professor of Modern Literature at Lancaster University
Reviews"What is intriguing here is the dialectical back-and-forth intertext which elucidates both the writings of the Victorian writers and the theories of poststructuralist French theoreticians." --Roland A Champagne "One reads it with a strong sense that not many more books like this are likely to be written." -- "Studies in English Literature"
