December 10, 1830) enjoyed little fame in her lifetime, she is now regarded as one of the greatest American poets of the 19th century. She was born in Amherst, Massachusetts to a wealthy family. Her grandfather, Samuel Fowler, was one of the founders of Amherst College, and her her father, Edward, was a lawyer who served as treasurer for the college. He was also politically active and served on the Massachusetts General Court, Massachusetts Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives. Little is known about Dickinson�¢s mother, Emily Norcross, much of whose life was plagued by chronic illness. Dickinson grew up in the family's houses in Amherst with her older brothers William and Austin and their younger sister Lavinia. In 1840, Emily attended the Amherst Academy and studied English, classical literature, Latin, religion, history, mathematics, geology, and biology. At the age of 17, she went to Mary Lyon's Mount Holyoke Female Seminary (now Mount Holyoke College) in South Hadley. After less than a year, however, she fell ill and returned home to Amherst. Dickinson never returned to school, and left home only to visit family in Boston, Cambridge, and Connecticut. During a 10-year religious revival in Western Massachusetts in 1840, Dickinson dedicated her labors to writing poetry. Her use of ballad, hymn meter, use of dashes and unconventional capitalization often make her poems recognizable at a single glance. Since Dickinson wrote most of her poems during the Civil War, scholars believe that the socio-political climate of America at that time contributed to the tense feeling that pervades her general tone. Though she enlisted the help of friend and literary critic Thomas Wentworth Higginson to publish her poems, she lost interest after he attemtped to modify her work along the lines of the romantic style that was popular in the 19th century. By her death, only 7 of her poems had been published.

Emily Dickinson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is the latest accepted revision accepted on 30 October 2010 Jump to: navigation search From the daguerreotype taken at Mount Holyoke , December 1846 or early 1847. The only authenticated portrait of Emily Dickinson later than childhood, the original is held by the Archives and Special Collections at Amherst College. Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet . Born in Amherst, Massachusetts , to a successful family with strong community ties, she lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life. After she studied at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she spent a short time at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's house in Amherst. Thought of as an eccentric by the locals, she became known for her penchant for white clothing and her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, even leave her room. Most of her friendships were therefore carried out by correspondence. Although Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime.

Contact Us Browse Articles By: Date Posted Author or Search Articles: The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson by Emily Dickinson Advertisement: Emily Dickinson's Homestead This article was written by Jodi Werner Emily Dickinson's Homestead As a junior in high school, studying American Literature for the first time, I claimed Emily Dickinson as my poet. I felt as though I alone were given the gift to decode her poems. The rest of my class wanted to read more accessible poetry; they hated Dickinson's verse and were indifferent to her life story. Her use of elusive imagery and fourth-definition choices for words frustrated them but only increased my desire to study the poems more closely. I wanted to understand enough about Emily Dickinson so that I could emulate her. Advertisement: I stayed in many a Saturday night that year, calling myself Dickinsonian and not pathetic. I wrote poems, lots of them, because I wanted to have a collection totaling 1,775like hers. I even started using dashes in my writing. Her perceptions shook the naive grip I had on the world around me: "I heard a fly buzz when I died," she wrote, and no one I had ever met examined the world in that way. She questioned the unknowable, and imagined the impossible. I devoured her poems. Convinced that in getting to know her verse, I could answer not only her life's mysteries but my own as well. This past semester in graduate school I had the opportunity to indulge my fanaticism with a classroom full of Dickinson enthusiasts. Here I learned the danger involved in reading her poems as autobiographies. Her life, though indisputably mysterious, cannot be historically annotated by analyzing her poetry. Like most poets, Dickinson assumes personae in her writing. Sometimes she speaks as the bee, sometimes as the flower, sometimes as countless other things. Reading her into each of her poems is presumptuous and can only lead to false analyses. Perhaps she wished to re-envision her life through her poetry and not accurately record it. I write perhaps because the beautiful truth is that we will never know exactly what she intended to do with her verse.

Historical : Emily Dickinson Emily Dickinson Emily Dickinson, one of America's most famous poets, was born in Amherst to a prominent family. She was educated at Amerherst Academy, the institution her grandfather helped found. She spent a year at the Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary, but left because she didn't like the religious environment and because her parents asked her home. In her twenties, Emily led a busy social life, but she became more reclusive with each passing year. By her thirties, she stayed to her home and withdrew when visitors arrived. She developed a reputation as a myth, because almost never seen and, when people did catch sight of her, she was always wearing white. But while she withdrew from physical contact with people, she did not withdraw from them mentally. Emily was an avid letter-writer who corresponded with a great number of friends and relatives. 1000 of these letters (a portion of what she wrote) survived her death, and they show her letter writing to be very similar to her poetic styleenigmatic and abstract, sometimes fragmented, and often forcefully sudden in emotion. Emily often included poetry with her letters to friends. Her friends encouraged her to publish, but after an attempt to do so in 1860 (when the publisher suggested she hold off) Emily did not appear to try again. The eight poems that were published in her lifetime were primarily poems submitted by her friends without her permission. Her death revealed 1768 more poems.
