Abstract

V originále

The paper discusses the representation and understanding of liminal spaces and identities in the poems “Santarém,” “Questions of Travel,” “North Haven,” and “Crusoe in England” by Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979), focusing predominantly on her strategies of creating poetic landscapes that are not only geographical but more importantly, psychological, and spiritual. In her poetry Bishop reflects her own life-long liminal negotiations between an outsider (or a tourist), and a local.
