"Towards a poetics of desire in Maurice Sceve's ""Delie"""
Abstract
dc:descriptionIn this dissertation I analyze Maurice Sceve's Delie using a Lacanian approach. Like the unconscious, and like Lacan's own texts, the Delie resists interpretation. Like the object of desire, meaning is elusive, interpretation is difficult. The satisfaction or fulfillment of desire--that of the Poet-Lover or of the reader--is always beyond, in some unattainable otherness.
