Emily Dickinson is best known as an intensely private, even
reclusive writer. Yet the way she has been mythologised has meant
her work is often misunderstood. This 2007 introduction delves
behind the myth to present a poet who was deeply engaged with the
issues of her day. In a lucid and elegant style, the book places
her life and work in the historical context of the Civil War, the
suffrage movement, and the rapid industrialisation of the United
States. Wendy Martin explores the ways in which Dickinson's
personal struggles with romantic love, religious faith, friendship
and community shape her poetry. The complex publication history of
her works, as well as their reception, is teased out, and a guide
to further reading is included. Dickinson emerges not only as one
of America's finest poets, but also as a fiercely independent
intellect and an original talent writing poetry far ahead of her
time.
