问题     Elizabeth Bishop’s Complete Poems(1927-1979) has come to seem to most of its readers so achieved and sufficient as a life’s work that it is hard not to lose sight of how slowly Bishop wrote poems and of how few poems, finally, she completed. But Bishop herself never ceased to find her productivity inadequate. The size and pace of her output were always in her eyes a failing (vaguely moral in complexion) for which she apologized throughout her career, although, as I will argue in this essay, Bishop’s inability to write more poems than she did was also a refusal to do so. The small, manageable size of Bishop’s body of work has facilitated its extraordinary critical reception since her death. (Robert Lowell, whose oeuvre is so much larger, has never had a complete edition of his poetry published.) Yet the size of her work is also a sign of Bishop’s alienation, that is, her uneasy, resistant relation to the literary culture that today claims her as the major poet of her generation. [br] The passage indicates that the small size of Bishop’s body of work contributed to bringing about which of the following?
选项 A、Bishop’s alienation from the literary culture of her generation
B、the favorable scholarly attention that Bishop’s work has received since her death
C、an interest among readers regarding why Bishop wrote so slowly
答案 A,B
解析 A项对应第六句。B项对应第四句。C项未提及读者的兴趣。
