  Presents the descriptions of the body in the Song of Songs as grotesque, alternative way of interpreting perplexing imagery and as a means to investigate the Song's politics of gender and love. This book addresses the problematic nature of the Song's body imagery by using the artistic and literary construct of the grotesque body as a heuristic.
