Departing from Freudian models of influence theory that ignore the question of maternal presence, Joanne Diehl applies the psychoanalytic insights of object relations theorists Melanie Klein and Christopher Bollas to woman-to-woman literary transactions. She lays the groundwork for a far-reaching critical approach as she shows that Bishop, mourning her separation from her natural mother, strives to balance gratitude toward Moore, her literary mother, with a potentially disabling envy. Diehl begins by exploring Bishop's memoir of Moore, "Efforts of Affection," as an attempt by Bishop to verify Moore's uniqueness in order to defend herself against her predecessor's almost overwhelming originality. She then offers an intertextual reading of the two writers' works that inquires into Bishop's ambivalence toward Moore. In an analysis of "Crusoe in England" and "In the Village," Diehl exposes the restorative impulses that fuel aesthetic creation and investigates how Bishop thematizes an understanding of literary production as a process of psychic compensation. 606 $aFeminism and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAmerican poetry$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPoets, American$y20th century$xPsychology 606 $aFeminist poetry, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zUnited States 606 $aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.) 606 $aWomen poets, American$xPsychology 606 $aPoetry$xPsychological aspects 606 $aPsychoanalysis and literature 606 $aAuthorship$xSex differences 606 $aCreative ability 615 0$aFeminism and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPoets, American$xPsychology. 615 0$aFeminist poetry, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.) 615 0$aWomen poets, American$xPsychology. 615 0$aPoetry$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and literature. 615 0$aAuthorship$xSex differences. 615 0$aCreative ability. 676 $a811/.54 700 $aDiehl$b Joanne Feit$f1947-$01111904 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779905403321 996 $aElizabeth Bishop and Marianne Moore$93756555 997 $aUNINA
