The Peculiar Life of Sundays
Miller, Stephen Publisher: Harvard University Press
Year Published: 2009
Pages: 320pp
Resource Type: Book
Stephen Miller's The Peculiar Life of Sundays reads at times like a PhD student's literature search. The book is a history of Sunday observance, with Miller roaming vastly and omnipotently, like the spirit of God, across the face of literature and popular culture, from the Bible, to Billie Holiday singing Glooming Sunday; from the Hungarian physicist Sandor Ferenczi and his paper, Sunday Neruoses, to the Velvet Underground, to Elizabeth Bishop, Louis MacNiece, Emily Dickinson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau and Walt Whitman, culminating in an exposition of Wallace Stevens's poem Sunday Morning.
