The poets (and scholars based on my research) who I will discuss in this essay have chosen to re-examine and transform the tradition—the scholars by studying the texts again in their original languages and contexts, and the creative writers by re-imagining the lives of women in the Bible—to discover the \\\"creative power, dignity, and goodness\\\" of women in their texts. Their work on the character of Eve, the archetypal woman in Western thought, as she appears in the Genesis accounts of creation and in the varied interpretations of her, illustrates the many dimensions of this feminist re-envisioning of women\\\'s place in the Bible and in women\\\'s understanding of their place before God and the rest of humanity. Perhaps the best way to begin this study of Eve is to look at some of the \\\"canonized mythology\\\" of Eve.

(Dr. Bullon was telling us this too in our Arthurian Romance) They maintained that it subordinates woman to man in creation, depicts her as his seducer, curses her, and authorizes man to rule over her.\\\" The poetry of Eve presents a similar picture. A poem by Ralph Hodgson, published in 1924, gives us a little taste: As the serpent begins his assault on Eve— \\\"to get even and / Humble proud heaven\\\"—Hodgson asks the reader to Picture that orchard sprite, “Eve, with her body white.

Wondering, listening. Listening, wondering. Eve with a berry half-way to her lips.” When she succumbs to the serpent\\\'s wiles, the poet cries out: \\\"Oh, had our simple Eve / Seen through the make-believe!\\\" In Hodgson\\\'s poem “Eve” is presented as not merely naive but actually stupid; the Fall is for her no more than a loss of \\\"sweet berries and plums.\\\"
Emily Dickinson’s poem, \\\"A...
