Emily Dicknisons and the 19th Century Poetry

...

Gilpin, in religion around Emily, engage a topic that was introduced to many including Barton Levi, St Armand and Cynthia Griffin but on the same note, Gilpin broadens on the issue of contemporary materials that the poet uses to write its poem and shows her own writing against and across a range of several dimensions about her own customs and beliefs. Covering practices that are associated in different cultural patterns, she makes sense of Emily's religion by exploring her views on what it means to be religious. (Amanda Gailey and Dan Manheim 2016). In examining this, Dickinson tries to explain classical ideas about heaven, the nature of immortality and eternity. This enabled her to interpret problems caused by mourning, the love of everything by humans and the human desire on particular issues.

Gilpin also examined Dickinson's letter with a theological experiment where she tested her vocabulary of memory loss and separation. Gilpin in her studies discovered that Emily's language of memory loss complicated discourses of mourning and memorial in a religious sect that linked the life and the one to come after (Amanda Gailey and Dan Manheim 2016).

Elizabeth Bishop also wrote to protest about the contemporary poetry because it created an interpretive space at the expense of the mass media excesses that were slowly infiltrating into the field of poetry and arts. In her poem " A Lovely Finish I Have Seen," Christina Pugh warns that Emily's fate may await the Bishop which will silence the poetic speech(Frank J. Kearful 2012)

In conclusion the great words and stylistic devices that have served as healing power because the message brought up in Dickinson's poems. The words have drought comfort and rest to many who have listened to them. Though the poems were written a long time ago, they still maintain a good taste and articulate very well in the post modern poetry of the 19th century (William Pannapacker and Paul Crumbley 2009).
