Description:
Akin to a bookkeeper’s accounting of what’s given and taken in a fraught, uncertain exchange, <i>The Counting House</i> goes on to record the pageantry and pedantry of courtly affection gone awry. Symbols and origins of traditional rhymes involving kings and queens serve as inventory, alongside elements of Michel Foucault’s <i>Discipline and Punish</i> and Simone de Beauvoir’s <i>The Second Sex</i>. In forensic sequences of inquisition, scrutiny, and reckoning, Ridley reveals the maiden as muse as modern darling – unhoused and exacting – in “all of her violet forms.”
