Nimble Believing: Dickinson and the UnknownUniversity of Michigan Press, 2004 - 194 من الصفحات "The most subtly intelligent discussion of Dickinson's spirituality." --Harold Bloom, Genius " . . . a truly literary study in the largest, most humane, sense. Instead of subjecting poems to the distortions of theory, it brings biography, theology, psychology, and cultural history to bear on the intricacies of language, where all the issues of the poet's life and work converge, contend, and seek resolution." --Albert Gelpi, American Literature " . . . insightful readings of many of Dickinson's difficult poems and . . . a significant contribution to Dickinson studies." ---Choice "McIntosh shows the power of Dickinson's religious quest in word, in verse, and in truth. He shows that she was much more than an ever-adolescent angry rebel trying to subvert the religious oppression of benighted Amherst neighbors." ---Emily Dickinson Journal |
