Nota di contenuto

Introduction: a history of the work of typology -- Jonathan Edwards. Jonathan Edwards: a reconsideration; Beauty and the eye of the beholder: being and desire in Jonathan Edwards's natural typology -- Emily Dickinson.  Immersed in the reformed hermeneutic: origins of Dickinson's typological imagination;  Reading with "compound vision": Emily Dickinson and the nineteenth-century "paper wars" ; "Myself; the term between": Dickinson's typology of split subjectivity -- Marianne Moore. Rightly dividing the word of truth: Marianne Moore in her reformed tradition; "Part terrestrial, part celestial": "the real" and "the actual" in Moore's revisionist typology; "Integration too tough for infraction": being, ethics, and aesthetics in early and late Moore.

Sommario/riassunto

Scholars no longer see Jonathan Edwards as the fire-and-brimstone preacher who deemed his parishioners "sinners in the hands of an angry god." Edwards now figures as caring and socially conscious and exerts increased influence as a philosopher of the American school of Protestantism.
