Author Biography: Kate Rigby
Kate Rigby, Senior Lecturer in German Studies and Comparative Literature at Monash University, Australia, is the author of Transgressions of the Feminine: Tragedy, Enlightenment, and the Figure of Woman in Classical German Drama.
Book Synopsis
Rigby (German studies and comparative literature, Monash U., Australia) reconsiders recent understandings of nature, humanity, and the divine that underlie the romantic turn toward the earth and prefigure so much in contemporary ecological thought. Then she explores various configurations of the nexus of nature, place, and poiesis in relation to a range of English and German literary texts. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
