Product Description

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.
