About this title: Eschewing the misconception that Dickinson (1830-1886) was not engaged in a changing dynamic because of her reclusiveness, this study of her life and work discusses how her decision to cloister herself allowed her greater expression than her age ordinarily permitted. A thorough study of the New England religious revival, which she resisted in her youth, sheds light on her tremendous strength of character.

"When I realized how exhaustively complete this biography was, I nearly put it aside. Do I really, I asked myself, need to know about Dickinson's parents' courtship, or about her elementary school teachers? But I kept going, and I'm glad I did. This book is the best biography of Emily Dickinson I've encountered, exploring what we know about her life, her relationships, her ideas, and the ways that her poetry was woven with all of it."
"Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) was a remarkable poet. She wrote many letters, often including poems, but didn't seek publication. This is a book to read with a dictionary at hand. I found it fascinating."
"Ironic that a biography of a creative poetic genius would be written in prose so clunky and inflexible that it could be carved into several pairs of wooden shoes.
Well-researched, but not exactly a riveting page turner."
