SAVING APPEARANCES
| Title: | SAVING APPEARANCES |
| Author: | Hanson, Jeffrey Allan |
| Description: | This dissertation is divided into two parts: a discussion of the life and work of Emily Dickinson as being relevant to a conventional definition of wisdom writing as well as the idea of Dickinson’s poetry as a demonstration of the poetic qualities of scriptural writing, and a collection of poems. The following essay outlines some of the seminal points of comparison between Dickinson and the historical tradition of Wisdom writing. The term wisdom writing here refers to writing usually considered outside of the bounds of poetry alone, although the utterance of divinely inspired rhetoric is often poetic in essence. Poetry can be proverbial and instructional. Dickinson’s poetry evinces these purposes but also demonstrate the dimension of dialogue and obsession with questions about the relationship between the individual and God. The other section of this document is a collection of original poetry, wherein I have tried to address themes that continue to interest me, including: male-cruelty, the relationship between God and supplicant, and the individual’s conscious isolation. |
