An exciting new reference work that illuminates the beliefs,
customs, events, material culture, and institutions that made up
Emily Dickinson's world, giving users a glance at both Dickinson's
life and times and the social history of America in the 19th
century. While Emily Dickinson is one of the most widely studied
American poets, some dimensions of her life and work are largely
under-appreciated. This book provides the wider context necessary
for a more complete understanding of Dickinson, presenting
Dickinson's life and times as well as discussion of her poetry and
letters. Prolific author and Dickinson expert Wendy Martin and 59
contributors address the relationship between Emily Dickinson's
life and work and the larger world in which she lived. Examination
of topics such as the history of Amherst, MA, and the Dickinson
family's place in it; and the cultural, financial, political,
legal, and religious practices of the day illuminate important
dimensions of Dickinson's experiences and world for students,
scholars, and general readers of this iconic poet's work. Provides
more than 200 alphabetically arranged entries, covering such
subjects as architecture; dress; education and intellectual life;
newspapers; marriage; family (including Dickinson's own); food and
drink; friends; plants and animals; religious practices;

Dickinson's life, her publications, as well as significant events
