Description
Alisoun Sings explores the intersection of love and protest in a world shaped by global warming, systemic violence, and other forms of brutality. Caroline Bergvall's work navigates these themes through a unique blend of transhistoric forms of English.
The book draws on Chaucer's iconic Wife of Bath, using her forceful voice to address the social conventions that govern our lives. Through this lens, Bergvall creates a labyrinthine text that explores the complexities of love and resistance in a rapidly changing world.
