The public is familiar with the Emily Dickinson stereotype-an
eccentric spinster in a white dress flitting about her father's
house, hiding from visitors. But these associations are misguided
and should be dismantled. This work aims to remove some of the
distorted myths about Dickinson in order to clear a path to her
poetry. The entries and short essays should open avenues of debate
and individual critical analysis. This companion gives both
instructors and readers multiple avenues for study. The entries and
charts are intended to prompt ideas for classroom discussion and
syllabus planning. Whether the reader is first encountering
Dickinson's poems or returning to them, this book aims to inspire
interpretative opportunities. The entries and charts make
connections between Dickinson poems, ponder the significance of
literary, artistic, historical, political or social contexts, and
question the interpretations offered by others as they enter the
never-ending debates between Dickinson scholars.
