Description: Holy Sparkes of Heavenly Fire by Michael Reed Left unpublished for over 200 years, the poetry of colonial American writer Edward Taylor has left an undeniable impact on the American literary landscape. Upon its release, the concrete, carnal, and, to some, scandalous content and language of his poetry seemed to stand in contradiction with the man himself, a minister and doctrinaire Puritan. This book presents a psychoanalytic reading of both Taylors religion and his poetry, shedding light on the language which has so puzzled readers since its initial publication. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Michael Reed is an emeritus professor from the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley. He has published several articles on early American writers and nineteenth century history from a psychoanalytic perspective. Review "A comprehensive guide to Edward Taylors poetry and its relation to Puritan theology. ... By examining Oedipal tendencies of a Puritan writer, Reed offers a dynamic application of a theory that depends on analysis of the subconscious. The study is fresh precisely because it requires a revisionist reading of old poems through a modern lens."-Douglas Edward LaPrade, The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley"Dr. Reed masterfully analyses the psychological makeup of Edward Taylor through his poetry and sermons. He clearly explains and applies classical Freudian concepts (e.g., defense mechanisms, the Oedipal complex, and the many manifestations of the superego) to Taylors provocative writings. I highly recommend this book for insights about the historical, cultural, and religious context of Puritanism in the 1600s, along with a compelling application of Freudian ideas to Taylor and his beliefs."-Sean McGowan, PsyD, ABPP, McGowan Psychological Services, PLLC Details ISBN1476693854 Author Michael Reed ISBN-13 9781476693859 Format Paperback Subtitle A Psychoanalytic Reading of the Poetry of Edward Taylor Country of Publication United States Illustrations Halftones, black and white Audience General Publisher McFarland & Co Inc Year 2024 Imprint McFarland & Co Inc Place of Publication Jefferson, NC Pages 197 DEWEY 811.1 Publication Date 2024-10-16 US Release Date 2024-10-16 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
