| Summary: | Modern lyrical portraits of Solomon continue and expand the critical and humorous aspects of king Solomon, that are already established in the Bible. Reconstructing Solomon, these poems attribute quite different characteristics to the biblical king that may present him as a ruthless tyrant, a witty king, a superficial or simple-minded monarch. The deconstruction of the legendary biblical king goes hand in hand with a humorous but often often severe criticism of contemporary social and political conditions. In this way, Solomon is used to create a (distorting) reflection of present-day society and culture. |
