Book Synopsis

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) wrote in 19th century American English and referenced long-vanished cultural contexts. A private poet, she created her own vocabulary, and many of her poems have quite specific local and personal connections. Twenty-first century readers may find her poetry elusive and challenging.

Promoting a richer appreciation of Dickinson''s work for a modern audience, this book explores unfamiliar aspects of her language and her world.
