- Description
- Examines the ironies of LGW and LGWP, observing tensions between Cupid's binary claims and the dialogical voices and approaches in the tales themselves. Mythological allusions and various plays suggest a cycle of fertility at odds with binary oppositions and hence contrary to essentialist notions of gender.
