In recent years, a series of major collections of posthumous writings byElizabeth Bishop--one of the most widely read and discussed poets of the twentiethcentury--have been published, profoundly affecting how we look at her life and work. Thehundreds of letters, poems, and other writings in these volumes have expanded Bishop'spublished work by well over a thousand pages and placed before the public a",new", Bishopwhose complexity was previously familiar to only a small circle of scholars and devoted readers. This collection of essays by many of the leading figures in Bishop studies provides a deep andmultifaceted account of the impact of these new editions and how they both enlarge and complicateour understanding of Bishop as a cultural icon.
