The Value of Emily Dickinson is the first compact introduction to
Dickinson to focus primarily on her poems and why they have held
and continue to hold such significance for readers. It addresses
the question of literary value in light of current controversies
dividing scholars, including those surrounding the critical issue
of whether her writings are best appreciated as visual works of
manuscript art or as rhymed and metered poems intended for the
inner ear. Mary Loeffelholz deftly incorporates Dickinson's
distinctive biography and her historical, religious, and cultural
contexts into close readings, tracing the evolution of Dickinson's
style. This volume - which considers not only the complex history
of Dickinson's poems in print, but also their future in digital
formats - will be an invaluable resource for undergraduate and
graduate students seeking to better understand the importance of
this seminal American poet.
