| Guidelines |
| Elizabeth Bishop’s work is tightly interwoven with her life and bears visible traces of her past, present and sometimes even the future. The thesis aims to present various aspects influencing her writing including her family, friendships and losses. Bishop’s poetry will be read and analysed on the background of her personal correspondence, prose and biography. The thesis will be structured by using Bishop’s collections North & South, A Cold Spring, Questions of Travel, and Geography III as the backbone in order to allow for linking the influences to her work. Two to three exemplary poems will be chosen from each collection and will be closely analysed, presenting one possible reading of her work. |
