Abstract
This
critical reassessment of Elizabeth Bishop’s “At the Fishhouses” (1947) focuses
specifically on the poem’s interweaving of fire and water imagery with
questions of history and selfhood, and engages works by Feuerbach, Emerson,
Bachelard and Blanchot alongside Bishop’s drafts and other key materials held in
the Vassar College archive.
