A Student's Guide to Emily Dickinson

by Audrey Borus

Nineteenth-century poet Emily Dickinson is considered, along with Walt Whitman, one of the two most important poets in American literature. In her poetry, Dickinson expressed a dark pessimism, reflecting the alienation of many American intellectuals after the Civil War. In this book, the career of this literary giant is examined, with special emphasis placed on curriculum-related poems.
