Spanish poetry; female poetry; Ana RossettiAbstract
It is well known that many poets tend to use popular beliefs when it comes to create their pieces of works about historical charaters. No wonder then Spanish poet Ana Rossetti has taken Gilles de Rais’ collective imaginary to write her poem in which she depictes the sexual activity and the homicides that have tipically been attached to the French noble throughout history. This paper aims to analyse how Rossetti manages to introduce De Rais’ figure into her poem, focusing on his vicious appetite for young boys, and how she, in closing, comes back to the literary topic of sex and death.
