Book Synopsis

Clark Griffith seeks to demonstrate that, if we come to terms with her true intellectual position, we find that Emily Dickinson is a tragic poet. He studies her special connection with the Age of Emerson, her dependence upon irony, her change in attitude from detachment to tragic involvement. Originally published in 1964. The Princeton Legacy Lib
