Music is a vital element in the poems and prose of Emily Dickinson
but, despite its importance, the function of music as a literary
technique in her work has not yet been fully explored; what
information exists is scarce and scattered. The significance of the
musical terminology and imagery in Dickinson's poetry and prose are
thoroughly explored in this book. It considers the music of
Dickinson's life and times and how it influenced her writing, how
she combined music and poetry to create her own style, several
important nineteenth century reviews for what they reveal about the
musical quality of her work, and her use of Protestant hymns as a
model for her poetry. It also provides insights into musical
interpretations of her poetry as related to the author by some
fifty modern-day composers and arrangers, and discusses musical
reflections of her poems and letters.
