Description
This full collection of Emily Dickinson's poems paints a vivid portrayal of one of Massachusetts' most famous and intriguing writers.
Emily Dickinson, although being a gifted writer, spent the majority of her life in lonely solitude, in contrast to the society of the period, which stressed community and mingling. Emily's family provided her with care and comfort throughout her life; she had a peaceful, self-contained existence. Emily's upbringing provided a high level of education, with her aunts in particular recognizing her musical and literary talents.
Contemporary researchers largely believe that Emily Dickinson's solitude was mostly caused by a chronic depression. The deaths of a school principal she admired, as well as other friends, drove her into solitude in her prime. Despite her condition, she was able to travel with her family to explore life outside of her village of Amhurst and to have a couple of her poems published.
Dickinson eventually spent most of her time in utter isolation caring for her ill mother. During these years, she collected all of her childhood poems, rewrote many passages, and methodically structured her work into handwritten books, which her sister found shortly after her death at the residence.
Emily Dickinson's poems are recognized as one of the best examples of American verse for their eloquence and beauty, and are now regularly included on school curricula in the United States.
