Sinopsis

Bringing to bear the hymnody of Dickinson?s female forbears and contemporaries and the Dissenting ideology found in Isaac Watts?s hymns, this study offers a critical intervention in Dickinson?s use of the hymn form. Dickinson?s use of bee imagery and the re-visioned notions of religious design in her ?alternative hymns? show her engaging with a community of hymn writers in ways that anticipate the ideas of feminist theologians.
