*The Subject of Love: Hélène Cixous and the Feminine Divine* is about abundant, generous, other-regarding love. In many respects it is an homage to the very possibility that there might be such a thing, at the same time as it is a meditation on the kinds of subjects for whom it might actually be possible. In the history of Western ideas of love, such a configuration has been inseparable from our ideas about divinity and the sacred; often reserved only for God; and rarely thought of as a human achievement. Very early in Renshaw’s reading of Hélène Cixous, she glimpsed what she took to be Cixous’ fascination with a similar kind of excessive, generous love of the other, a love which Cixous grounded in a uniquely ‘feminine’ relation to difference but consistently spoke of through the language of the sacred.
