Description
There is in Elizabeth Bishop's poetry a development which
progresses from an objectified, basically Aristotelian,
mode of presentation to a subjective mode controlled by
post-Kantian ideas of self-awareness to a Husserlian
phenomenological expression of integrated experience.
By using a Hegelian three-part dialectic in which her
three major books, North and South, Questions of Travel,
and Geography III, are viewed respectively as thetic,
antithetic, and synthetic levels of her aesthetic development,
Bishop's poetry may be seen to reflect the ontogenetic
growth of the mind of western man and to be an adumbration
of the same whole to part-to-whole to whole-of-parts
schema which characterizes Western philosophical
thought in general.
