This literary biography study offers a comprehensive account of
Emily Dickinson's life, as a poet as well as a daughter of a
prominent Amherst, Massachusetts, family. For many years
accompanied by her large dog, she well knew the worlds of nature
and natural beauties. For many more years, she chronicled her life
- especially her life of the imagination - in hundreds of letters,
as well as the nearly 1,800 poems that have been found. Such rich
material informs this book's narrative, building a picture of a
woman loyal to her parents and her myriad of friends, as well as
siblings, niece and nephews, and her sister-in-law Susan Gilbert
Dickinson, her constant muse. Never content with passive
acceptance, or a live that conformed to the dutiful unmarried
daughter's role, Dickinson the poet worked all her mature life to
bring her art to its consistently firm - and always brilliant -
greatness.
