Elizabeth Bishop is increasingly recognised as one of the twentieth
century's most original writers. Consisting of thirty-five
ground-breaking essays by an international team of authors,
including biographers, literary critics, poets and translators,
this volume addresses the biographical and literary inception of
Bishop's originality, from her formative upbringing in New England
and Nova Scotia to long residences in New York, France, Florida and
Brazil. Her poetry, prose, letters, translations and visual art are
analysed in turn, followed by detailed studies of literary
movements such as surrealism and modernism that influenced her
artistic development. Bishop's encounters with nature, music,
psychoanalysis and religion receive extended treatment, likewise
her interest in dreams and humour. Essays also investigate the
impact of twentieth-century history and politics on Bishop's life
writing, and what it means to read Bishop via eco-criticism,
postcolonial theory and queer studies.
