Reading and Interpreting the Works of Emily Dickinson (Lit Crit Guides) by Audrey Borus

Lit Crit Guides

by Audrey Borus

Emily Dickinsons words may be well known to students, but they may know very little of her quiet solitary life. This text positions her work within the political climate in which she lived, the culture and expectations for an educated young woman of the day, and discusses what it meant to be a poet during the American Civil War. Through critical analysis of her themes, language, and style and direct quotations from Dickinsons many correspondences, readers will learn how to think about and understand the works of Emily Dickinson.
