How do the contemporary #MeToo movement and other movements of protest and accountability renew questions about women, gender, sex, and the problematic of the public at the heart of this ancient poetry? This edited volume seeks to reinvigorate feminist scholarship on the Song by exploring diverse contexts of reading, from Akkadian love lyrics, to Hildegard of Bingen, to Marc Chagall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations   Notes on Contributors      Introduction: The Song of Songs and Women’s Voices    Elaine James and Simeon Chavel      Part 1: The Song of Songs: Literary and Theoretical Approaches   1 The Song of Songs and #MeToo    Critical Reading, Reparative Reading    Elaine James      2 Sex in Public in the Song of Songs    Rhiannon Graybill      3 The Speaker of the Song of Songs and Her Publics    Simeon Chavel      4 Speaking of the Other    Interest and Love in Song 5:2–8    Sarah Zhang      Part 2: The Song of Songs in Historical Contexts   5 The Song, Cixous, and écriture féminine    F.
