Synopsis
Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886) was an eccentric, reclusive poet, though born to a family of good standing within their Massachusetts community. She had fewer than a dozen poems published in her lifetime, though posthumously her sister found a cache of nearly eighteen hundred, all of which have now been published. Emily's style was broke with the common forms of poetry at the time, and foreshadowed what was to come. Her work was harshly criticized when first published, but she is now considered one of the American greats.
Reviews
On Oct 9 2007, Hazelwood_Booksellers said:
This Barnes & Noble publishing is a beautiful replicate of the original 1924 book titled, The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson: From all of America's renowned poets, Miss Dickinson is perhaps the most confounding of stories. Having attended Amherst and Mount Holyoke Seminary, she returned home to her father and thereafter seldom left the confines of her room. But the scope of her poetic verse was as vast as her one-room world was restrictive. Of nearly two-thousand verses, only seven were actually published in her lifetime, to little if any acclaim. As a lifelong recluse she wrote with a subdued fire and passion, combined with an oddly deep intellectual and emotional understanding of the human spirit and its relation to all surrounding it, given her limited venture into the real world around herself. Miss Dickinson died at the early age of fifty-five, but left a rich legacy of poetic literature that today vaults her to the lofty heights of being one of America's greatest poets. For the poetry lover this is a wonderful classic collectible.
