For many  she remains a mythic recluse always dressed in white. Although factual knowledge has corrected that image  it was firmly established in Amherst long before the poets death. Her works were largely neglected during her lifetime as most of her poems were published posthumously. Since Poems by Emily Dickinson appeared in 1890  readers have been raising questions about the poet  her world  and the works that have established her as a famous literary figure. An innovative writer who blurred the distinctions between poetry and prose  Dickinson is attracting a growing amount of scholarly attention. Critics have found her works elusive to interpret  and therefore  focus much research on her artistry and the practices of her editors.  Now that Emily Dickinsons poetry has taken its place at the heart of the American literary canon  readers continue to examine the poet herself  the environment that sustained and challenged her  her artistic choices  and the implications of her poems. This encyclopedia features several hundred entries on persons  places  and institutions connected with Dickinson; cultural influences affecting her; stylistic aspects of her poetry; editorial and publication history; reception of her poems; critical approaches to her art; and modern responses to her in other art forms as well as thoughtful commentaries on a representative selection of poems. Recommendations for further reading follow each entry  and the book includes a general bibliography of cited Dickinson scholarship. The volume also features a chronology  appendices  and a guide to centers for archival research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67957446705205,"sku":"ByrdShop_0313297819","price":83.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/an-emily-dickinson-encyclopedia-9780313297816","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
