Louis B. Salomon, University of Pennsylvania Press. Condition remarks: Condition: Good to fair. Jacket: No dust jacket - paperback. Page Condition: Good. A scholarly work rooted in the rich tradition of English verse, The Devil Take Her!: A Study of the Rebellious Lover in English Poetry presents a fascinating examination of a recurring archetype in literary history - the defiant, anti-romantic lover who rails against women and courtly love conventions. Louis B. Salomon traces this rebellious voice across centuries of English poetry, from medieval lyrics through to later periods, uncovering a tradition of misogynistic and satirical verse that runs as a provocative counter-current to idealized romance. The study chronicles the evolution of this literary persona with scholarly precision, situating individual poems within their broader cultural and historical contexts. Authoritative and richly referenced, the work argues that the rebellious lover is not merely a fringe figure but a persistent and revealing presence in the canon of English literature, reflecting deeper social anxieties about love, gender, and power.
