H.D. and Modernist Religious Imagination: Mysticism and Writing

Autor Dr Elizabeth Anderson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 feb 2015
Exploring the intersection of religious sensibility and creativity in the poetry and prose of the American modernist writer, H.D., this volume explores the nexus of the religious, the visionary, the creative and the material. Drawing on original archival research and analyses of newly published and currently unpublished writings by H.D., Elizabeth Anderson shows how the poet's work is informed by a range of religious traditions, from the complexities and contradictions of Moravian Christianity to a wide range of esoteric beliefs and practices. H.D and Modernist Religious Imagination brings H.D.'s texts into dialogue with the French theorist Hélène Cixous, whose attention to writing, imagination and the sacred has been a neglected, but rich, critical and theological resource. In analysing the connection both writers craft between the sacred, the material and the creative, this study makes a thoroughly original contribution to the emerging scholarly conversation on modernism and religion, and the debate on the inter-relation of the spiritual and the material within the interdisciplinary field of literature and religion.

Recenzii

This is a study that soars as it examines alterity, the material world, and the space of writing as the basis for H.D.'s syncretistic writing ... Anderson's work is ... ambitious ... The divine, always hidden and always present, underwrites the process of writing in H.D. Tracing this paradox through H.D.'s writing is a challenging task, one that Anderson meets with insight and openness.
