Uncovering Emily's Secrets

While this earlier work does not have the high level of dramatic power evidenced in his books on John Keats and Edgar Allan Poe, there is certainly no fault here on Mr. Walsh's part. In fact, he has brought to light some very intriguing, if not disturbing, details related to how Emily Dickinson approached her craft, the secrets she and her cousins worked to conceal, and the political family wrangling over the poetess's literary estate. His literary research is again top notch and very impressive. Mr. Walsh is clearly a brilliant man; his excellent unravelling of confused or once-unknown details enhances anyone's understanding of Emily Dickinson's genius.
