Exploring the intersection of religious sensibility and creativity in
the poetry and prose of the American modernist writer, H.D., this
volume explores the nexus of the religious, the visionary, the
creative and the material. Drawing on original archival research and
analyses of newly published and currently unpublished writings by
H.D., Elizabeth Anderson shows how the poet's work is informed by a
range of religious traditions, from the complexities and
contradictions of Moravian Christianity to a wide range of esoteric
beliefs and practices. H.D and Modernist Religious Imagination brings
H.D.'s texts into dialogue with the French theorist Hélène Cixous,
whose attention to writing, imagination and the sacred has been a
neglected, but rich, critical and theological resource. In analysing
the connection both writers craft between the sacred, the material and
the creative, this study makes a thoroughly original contribution to
the emerging scholarly conversation on modernism and religion, and the
debate on the inter-relation of the spiritual and the material within
the interdisciplinary field of literature and religion.
