Raab, Josef. "Elizabeth Bishop’s Hemisphere," Department of English, University of Southern California, 1993.
While Elizabeth Bishop is commonly considered a writer of the United States, she is approached here as a poetic voice and cultural mediator of the Western Hemisphere. Drawing on hemispheric approaches to America in a variety of disciplines and situating Bishop in a line of inter-American writers, this study examines Bishop’s life as well as her published and unpublished poems, stories, and translations in the context of the Americas. Bishop emerges as a “homeless” outsider mediating between North and South America and between various groups within the Western Hemisphere. She is shown to seek a many-layered conflux.
