In Dickinson Unbound, Alexandra Socarides takes readers on a
journey through the actual steps and stages of Emily Dickinson's
creative process. In chapters that deftly balance attention to
manuscripts, readings of poems, and a consideration of literary and
material culture, Socarides takes up each of the five major stages
of Dickinson's writing career: copying poems onto folded sheets of
stationery; inserting and embedding poems into correspondence;
sewing sheets together to make fascicles; scattering loose sheets;
and copying lines on often torn and discarded pieces of household
paper. In so doing, Socarides reveals a Dickinsonian poetics
starkly different from those regularly narrated by literary
history. Here, Dickinson is transformed from an elusive poetic
genius whose poems we have interpreted in a vacuum into an author
who employed surprising (and, at times, surprisingly conventional)
methods to wholly new effect. Dickinson Unbound gives us a
Dickinson at once more accessible and more complex than previously
imagined. As the first authoritative study of Dickinson's material
and compositional methods, this book not only transforms our ways
of reading Dickinson, but advocates for a critical methodology that
insists on the study of manuscripts, composition, and material
culture for poetry of the nineteenth century and thereafter.
