Dickinson knew the Bible well. She was profoundly aware of
Christian theology and she was writing at a time when comparative
religion was extremely popular. This book is the first to consider
Dickinson's religious imagery outside the dynamic of her personal
faith and doubt. It argues that religious myths and symbols, from
the sun-god to the open tomb, are essential to understanding the
similetic movement of Dickinson's poetry - the reach for a
comparable, though not identical, experience in the struggles and
wrongs of Abraham, Jacob and Moses, and the life, death and
resurrection of Christ. Linda Freedman situates the poet within the
context of American typology, interprets her alongside contemporary
and modern theology and makes important connections to Shakespeare
and the British Romantics. Dickinson emerges as a deeply troubled
thinker who needs to be understood within both religious and
Romantic traditions.
