| | Emily Dickinson: An Oerview |
| | Almost unknown as a poet in her lifetime, Emily Dickinson is now recognized as one of our greatest poets and, in the view of some, one of the greatest lyric poets of all time. | | | George Whicher, a biographer of Emily Dickinson, claims, "Emily Dickinson was the only American poet of her century who treated the great lyric theme of love with entire candor and sincerity." Her poems run the gamut from renunciation to professions of love to sexual passion; they are generally intense. | | | Man's relationship to God and the nature of God concerned Dickinson throughout her life. |

| | Emily Dickinson |
| | On April 15, 1862, Emily Dickinson wrote a letter, enclosing four poems, to a literary man, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, asking whether her poems were "alive." Higginson, although he advised Emily not to publish, recognized the originality of her poems and remained her "preceptor" for the rest of her life. | | | Emily's prevailing poetic form was the quatrain of three iambic feet, a type described in one of the books by Watts in the family library. | | | Emily began to write verse about 1850, apparently while under the spell of the poems of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Emily Brontë and under the tutelage of Benjamin F. Newton, a young man studying law in her father's office. |

| | Emily Dickinson's Life |
| | Dickinson, Emily (10 Dec. 1830-15 May 1886), poet, was born Emily Elizabeth Dickinson in Amherst, Massachusetts, the daughter of Edward Dickinson, an attorney, and Emily Norcross. | | | Dickinson's imagery ranged widely from domestic and garden metaphors, through geographic and scientific references drawn from her education, to literary allusions (especially to the Bible, Shakespeare, Dickens, and the Brontës). | | | Thomas Johnson's editions of The Poems of Emily Dickinson (1955) and The Letters of Emily Dickinson (1958) remain the preferred scholarly editions, supplemented by R. Franklin's facsimile edition of The Manuscript Books of Emily Dickinson (1981). |

| | IHAS: Poet |
| | Emily Dickinson's nearly 2000 poems covering the themes of life and death, immortality and the grave, solitude and society, nature and mankind, isolation and election chart the landscape of a human soul, whose self-imposed confines conversely became agents of imaginative transformation. | | | After Emily's death in 1886, Mabel Loomis Todd, a cultured and beautiful socialite, who was also her brother Austin's mistress, sought Higginson's assistance in publishing three editions of Emily's poems and two volumes of her letters, which initially won Dickinson recognition as a minor eccentric poet. | | | To the tiny New England graveyard, across the fields where in girlhood Emily Dickinson had watched the funeral corteges wend their way, a solemn procession carried the white-robed remains of the poet, who died in her home on May 15, 1886. |

| | While Dickinson wrote love poetry that indicates a strong attachment, it has proved impossible to know the object of her feelings, or even how much was fed by her poetic imagination. | | | Her verse, noted for its aphoristic style, its wit, its delicate metrical variation and irregular rhymes, its directness of statement, and its bold and startling imagery, has won enormous acclaim and had a great influence on 20th-century poetry. | | | His three children (Emily; a son, Austin; and another daughter, Lavinia) thus had the opportunity to meet many distinguished visitors. |

| | By 1860 it was as impossible for Emily Dickinson simply to translate English poetic tradition as it was for Walt Whitman. | | | Emily Dickinson once wrote to Thomas Wentworth Higginson; "Candor--my Preceptor--is the only wile." This is the right way to put it. | | | She built a new poetic form from her fractured sense of being eternally on inteIlectual borders, where confident masculine voices buzzed an alluring and inaccessible discourse, backward through history into aboriginal anagogy. |

Johnson's 1955 edition is now the standard edition of Dickinson's poetry, this 1896 edition by Mabel Loomis Todd (Boston: Little, Brown) divides 160 poems into the categories of "Life," "Love," "Nature," and "Time and Eternity" and allows you to see the basis for Johnson's organization of Dickinson's poetry. |
