ENGL 90718 - Elizabeth Bishop and Contemporaries

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

The primary focus of this course will be on the poetry and prose of Elizabeth Bishop, a poet increasingly regarded as one of our most important poets of the 20th Century. Although highly regarded in her own time as a poet of exquisite artistry and craft, in the past couple of decades, the real philosophical and political import of her poetry has finally come to be readily acclaimed. In order to place Bishop, both for her poetic lineage and for her revolutionary divergences, we will also read a sampling of other poets, from Wallace Stevens to Adrienne Rich.
