Introduction

Introduction: Who Could Not Sing: Elegy and its (Female) Discontents

Tanis MacDonald

A daughter’s duty to care for her dying father and properly mourn his death is a commonly assumed cultural and familial obligation. If, as W. David Shaw suggests, we “want elegies to fit our desires,” the desire that drives the female elegist is the desire to delineate, and perhaps dismantle, the fidelity demanded by the father’s death.
