Laurel Snow Corelle

Opis

In this original study of Elizabeth Bishops lifelong engagement with Christianity, Corelle illuminates the ways in which Bishops Protestant childhood and reading of Christian literature, coupled with her deep commitment to agnosticism, inform the works of this former poet laureate of the United States. Corelle sees in Bishops writing a sophisticated and sustained interrogation of orthodoxy that exquisitely balances Bishops religious upbringing with her agnostic stance.
