- Abstract
- Unlike traditional genre conception, the typology in American Puritanism
capitalizes on the literal as well as symbolic connection between biblical figures
and the historical events of colonial New England. Intent on the allegorical
implication of typology, I explore poetic achievements of Puritan poets like Anne
Bradstreet and Edward Taylor, especially the epistemological skepticism of their
meditative poems. Allegory, often suppressed by strong typological drive of Puritan
hermeneutics, turns out to facilitate the moment of implosion within the structure of
that very tight typology. Bradstreets silently-defiant female personae and Taylors
ever-doubting writership both represent the poetics of allegorical implosion in the
fiction of Puritan typology. Allegorical indeterminacy in the 17th century Puritan
poetics marks the triumph of the literary in American literatures against religious
literalism.
