Elizabeth Bishop


Marcel Inhoff has just published the article "“Ladies and Gents, Ladies and Gents” – Mary McCarthy, Elizabeth Bishop and Female Autobiographies in American Postwar Literature" in Women’s Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal. It is available to subscribers as an early article published online May 13, 2020.

In this article Inhoff extensively discusses Weil's impact on McCarthy and Bishop. Inhoff notes that "Bishop's connection to Weil has never been explored" (p. 5) but I have located one article with considerable discussion of Weil and Bishop: 


Lafford, Erin. 2011. "Elizabeth Bishop's  'Dappled Thing': Visual Counterpoint and Devotional Attention in 'The Man-Moth'    "  Literature and Theology 25 (3):252-267. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/litthe/frr021.

Joan Dargan's 1999 book Simone Weil: Thinking Poetically also includes some reference to Weil and Bishop.
