I'm quite excited! I haven't read this entire article yet, but Linda Shires uses the concept of metonymy in the first paragraph of her paper, ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING: CROSS-DWELLING AND THE REWORKING OF FEMALE POETIC AUTHORITY. Get the pdf.
She's done work in cultural studies too. (There's a paper listed here with a title about "falling ass-backwards" into something. Which is a familiar learning mode for yours truly. !!)
