About the Author
Robert Simon’s cogent analysis shows how Anna Rossetti’s poetry has evolved in recent decades to elucidate the intersection of posthuman and transnational, within the context of mystical poetics, shaping the trajectory of Spain’s postmodern poetic landscape. The interwoven poetic interpretations of Rossetti and her contemporaries make this book essential reading for the understanding of this poetry—Rossetti’s in particular—as Simon’s analysis constructs and deconstructs notions of masculine hegemony, mystical symbolism, and agency.
