- Title
Mysticisms and Mystifications: The Demands of Laboring-Class Religious Poetry.
- Authors
Keegan, Bridges
- Abstract
The article focuses on the demands of laboring-class religious poetry by Susannah Harrison in Great Britain. According to the author, the resignation to Providence removes the responsibility for suffering to the divine plane and puts oppression within an absolute or transcendental context. He added that her poems show tastes and interests that were important to her contemporaries and speak for an age in which questions of faith were central to how people attempted to find meaning in their lives.
