Apocalypse of Green: A Study of Emily Dickinson's EschatologyLang, 1989 - 252 pages This is a study of Emily Dickinson's religious poetry, which is chiefly eschatological. She probed intently the four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Hell, and Heaven. She valued mortality chiefly because of its relationship to immortality, considering death a concomitant of immortality but not necessarily a temporal one. Ignoring traditional views of Heaven and neglecting self-fulfillment in a worldly sense, she came to believe that eternity is immanent in time and that immortality is encompassed with time proleptically in eternity. |
