Description: "Threshold Poetics: Milton and Intersubjectivity is a study of the challenge intersubjective experience poses to oppressive formulations of difference. Focusing on Paradise Lost and Samson Agonistes and using feminist and relational psychoanalytic theory, the project examines representations of looking, working, eating, conversing, and touching, and argues that encounters between selves in "threshold space" dismantle the binary oppositions that support categorical thinking."--Jacket.
