- Description
- Contextualizes the bedchamber of BD, exploring its adaptations of French source material, the otherness of France, the social and psychological implications of beds and textiles, and the imagery of black and white. Emphatically English in its wordplays and domestic situation, BD locates the process of poetic composition "on English ground."
