Experience and Faith - The Late-Romantic Imagination of Emily Dickinson (Paperback, 2005 ed.)

The empirical/evangelical dialectic of Romantic Anglo-America
culminates in the poetry of Emily Dickinson (1830-86). For example,
just as her poems of science and technology reflect her faith in
experience, and just as her lyrics about natural history build on
this empiricism and develop her commitment to natural religion, so
too do her poems of revealed religion constitute her experience of
faith. Thus, for an American audience, Dickinson recasts
British-Romantic themes of natural and spiritual perception. This
double perspective, this counterintuitive combination of natural
models with spiritual metaphors, parallels the androgynous ideal of
her nineteenth-century feminism and champions her belief in
immortality. The experience/faith paradox of her Late-Romantic
imagination forms the mind and soul, as well as the heart, of her
legacy.
