- Title
"Oh, lift me over the threshold, and let me in at the door!":Boundaries and Thresholds in Mary Coleridge's Poetry.
- Authors
BAKER, KASEY BASS
- Abstract
A literary criticism is presented of the poetry of author Mary Elizabeth Coleridge, particularly the poem "The Witch" and a letter that Coleridge wrote to Lucy Violet Hodgkin where she discusses the poem. Of particular interest is the author's desire to interpret the use of thresholds in the poetry to indicate boundaries that can be crossed such as those in art and death. Early drafts of the poem are analyzed as are Coleridge's own explanations for the edits.
