Reviews

""With dazzling readings of poems that often rival their lyricism and careful attention to scholarship, Shattering the Self in Early Modern English Verse is a necessary contribution to the fields of gender and sexuality studies."" - Vin Nardizzi, University of British Columbia ""Filo's brilliant and bold study urges the self's disarticulation among queer environments, making a passionate case for poetry that pushes the human envelope. An essential contribution to early modern gender and sexuality studies and ecocriticism."" - Steven Swarbrick, Baruch College, City University of New York
