In the Rambuss reading, I was struck by his discussion of same-sex relationships and friendships in this form of erotic, devotional poetry. In particular, I am interested the way that he uses Sedgwick’s theory of the homosocial to create a triangulated relationship between people and Christ. It seems that Rambuss is replacing the role traditionally filed by the woman in the triangulation with Christ. Does anyone have any thoughts as to the implications of doing so? Does this say something about the way that people envisioned Christ or perhaps having a more direct connection to religion and God?
