Description: "This volume presents a multiplicity of voices in discourse with Hester Prynne, Emma Bovary, and Sonia Marmeladov, female characters from 19th century literature. Passages of text span centuries from ancient poetry, to 15th-century manuscripts, to contemporary songs, which communicate with the three literary classics. Narrative lyrics of featured musicians Joni Mitchell, Annie Lennox, Tracy Chapman and others, with quotes of writers, philosophers, and poets are printed in the marginalia deconstructing the main texts. The three texts are condensed and combined into one volume, in dialog" -- Page [3].
