Trade Review
"... angering but finally inspiring After Emily... " -- New Statesman
"A fascinating piece of literary scholarship and biography... told in mesmerising and quick-paced detail. It is also beautifully-produced, with a number of photographic plates and manuscript materials. Dobrow’s work has the quality both of biography and of a thrilling soap-opera." -- The Irish Times
"Mesmerizing... If you’re interested in [Emily Dickinson], intellectual property issues, or juicy behind-the-scenes literary history, After Emily is your book." -- Michael Dirda - The Washington Post
"Long overdue... At the end of her book, Ms. Dobrow wonders what Mabel and Millicent would think of her good work. Doubtless, they’d be very pleased." -- Brenda Wineapple - The Wall Street Journal
