A study of the poet's distinctive compositional practices; Debates
about editorial proprieties have been at the center of Emily
Dickinson scholarship since the 1981 publication of the two-volume
Manuscript Books of Emily Dickinson, edited by Ralph W. Franklin.
Many critics have since investigated the possibility that autograph
poems might have primacy over their printed versions, and it has
been suggested that to read Dickinson in any standard typographic
edition is effectively to read her in translation, at one remove
from her actual practices. More specifically, it has been claimed
that line arrangements, the shape of words and letters, and the
particular angle of dashes are all potentially integral to any
given poem's meaning, making a graphic contribution to its
contents. In Measures of Possibility, Domhnall Mitchell sets out to
test the hypothesis of Dickinson's textual radicalism, and its
consequences for readers, students, and teachers, by looking
closely at features such as spacing, the physical direction of the
writing, and letter-shapes in hand-written lyric and epistolary
texts. Through systematic contextualization and cross-referencing,
Mitchell provides the reader with a critical apparatus by which to
measure the extent to which contemporary approaches to Dickinson's
autograph procedures can reasonably be formulated as corresponding
to the poet's own purposes.
