Song of Songs

"This commentary aims to interpret this vibrant Song in a contemporary feminist key, informed by close linguistic-literary and social-cultural analysis. Though finding much in the Song to celebrate for women in their embodied, passionate lives, this work also exposes tensions, vulnerabilities, and inequities between the sexes and among society at large--just what we would expect of a perceptive, poignant love ballad that still tops the charts." -- Inside cover
