Descrição

Louise Labé’s Sonnet XVIII is far from subtle in its forceful representation of sexual intimacy. After François Rigolot and Ann Rosalind Jones, Deborah Lesko Baker suggests a new reading of this most famous poem, and attempts to demonstrate how Louise Labé employs and ironizes the Petrarchan poetic tradition.
