Course Description

The American poet Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886) bequeathed to us 1,789 poems in which she reveals a literary-theological imagination that exceeds the conventions of nineteenth-century poetics and religious thought. As a precursor of Modernism, Dickinson forged a literary-theological grammar in verses described as metaphysical, provocative, flirtatious, tragic, and humorous. In this lecture series, we shall consider the literary and religious traditions inherited by Dickinson and her responses to the questions and paradoxes she encounters as she resides in “the house of possibility,” her metaphor for poetry.
