Nimble Believing
Book • 2004
“Nimble Believing: Dickinson and the Unknown” is a critical study of Emily Dickinson’s poetry that examines how her work engages with belief, uncertainty, and the limits of knowledge.
Rather than applying a single theoretical lens, James McIntosh brings biography, theology, psychology, and cultural history to bear on Dickinson’s language, showing how her poems continually test, revise, and reimagine religious and philosophical ideas.
The book has been praised as a subtle and humane account of Dickinson’s spirituality, illuminating the ways her poems remain open to the unknown while still pursuing forms of faith.
