Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) was a mystery in her own lifetime, and
her poems continue to challenge their readers. For many, she
remains a mythic recluse always dressed in white. Although factual
knowledge has corrected that image, it was firmly established in
Amherst long before the poet's death. Her works were largely
neglected during her lifetime as most of her poems were published
posthumously. Since Poems by Emily Dickinson appeared in 1890,
readers have been raising questions about the poet, her world, and
the works that have established her as a famous literary figure. An
innovative writer who blurred the distinctions between poetry and
prose, Dickinson is attracting a growing amount of scholarly
attention. Critics have found her works elusive to interpret, and
therefore, focus much research on her artistry and the practices of
her editors. Now that Emily Dickinson's poetry has taken its place
at the heart of the American literary canon, readers continue to
examine the poet herself, the environment that sustained and
challenged her, her artistic choices, and the implications of her
poems. This encyclopedia features several hundred entries on
persons, places, and institutions connected with Dickinson;
cultural influences affecting her; stylistic aspects of her poetry;
editorial and publication history; reception of her poems; critical
approaches to her art; and modern responses to her in other art
forms as well as thoughtful commentaries on a representative
selection of poems. Recommendations for further reading follow each
entry, and the book includes a general bibliography of cited
Dickinson scholarship. The volume also features a chronology,
appendices, and a guide to centersfor archival research.
