Extractions: Elizabeth Bishop's affinities with William Wordsworth were remarked long before her death in 1979. Bishop herself confessed them in a letter to Robert Lowell in July, 1951: "On reading over what I've got on hand"she was referring to the poems that were to appear in 1955, in A Cold Spring "I find I'm really a minor female Wordsworthat least, I don't know anyone else who seems to be such a Nature Lover" ( One Art . Robert Pinsky, Willard Spiegelman, Helen Vendler, and David Bromwich were among the first to conduct forays into Bishop's admittedly Wordsworthian sensibility, and Vendler was the first to link Bishop specifically with "the Wordsworth of Lyrical Ballads" Given the large-scale homology between the poets' lives, we would expect to find a corresponding homology in their poetry. Jonathan Barron summarizes the biographical resemblances: the early disappearance of both parents; the rural Eden of childhood that was lost with the child's removal to the spiritual suffocation of unsympathetic, middle-class guardians; the regaining of paradise, if on reduced terms, later in life. Bishop's "Hawkshead was Nova Scotia," writes Barron, "and her Grasmere was Brazil" (299). In the past decade and a half, critical views of Wordsworth's influence on Bishop have taken on a more revisionist tone: Wordsworth's "Romantic" (here, a term of opprobrium) version of the natural world and of naturalized human figures has come to be seen by some as an obstacle that Bishop not only had to overcome, but overthrow. What is targeted for overthrow is, in nearly every case, the Wordsworth of the notorious "egotistical sublime"domineering, intransigent, optimistic, monologistic, masculinist, self-congratulatoryin short, a sentimentalized Victorian parody of himself.

Extractions: Bold Type 's Poetry Editor Ernest Hilbert writes "Poets of very different stripes and styles continue with equal confidence to declare Elizabeth Bishop a principal influence, and this demonstrates that she was situated upon a fault-line that she herself helped to create, responsible in part for what the critic Helen Vendler once termed the "breaking of style" (Vendler had Gerard Manley Hopkins in mind at the time), a sundering (however elegant) that is seen and heard by a great many over great distances in greatly different ways." Hear Bishop read 'The Man Moth' and read an essay on the Elizabeth Bishop Voice of the Poet recordings.
