- Additional information
- This collection of 22 essays grew out of an international conference on Elizabeth Bishop that Ellis organised in June 2015 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bishop's third collection of poetry, Questions of Travel. In an addition to a comprehensive and wide-ranging history of Bishop Studies as an introductory chapter (1-15), the first academic analysis of its kind, and a chapter on Elizabeth Bishop's reputation in Ireland and influence on Irish literature (307-320), Ellis also commissioned, edited and gave feedback on the other 21 chapters in the collection. The book covers all aspects and periods of the author's career, from her early writing in the 1930s to the late poems finished after her final collection Geography III and those works published after her death. It also examines how Bishop's work has been read and reinterpreted by contemporary writers.
