The Letters of Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson Edited by Christanne Miller and Domhnall Mitchell Emily Dickinson was a letter writer before she was a poet. And it was through letters that she shared prose reflections—alternately humorous, provocative, affectionate, and philosophical—with her extensive community. While her letters often contain poems, and some letters consist entirely of a single poem, they also constitute a rich genre all their own. Through her correspondence, Dickinson appears in her many facets as a reader, writer, and thinker; social commentator and comedian; friend, neighbor, sister, and daughter. 976 pages 1-13/16 x 6-1/8 x 9-1/4 inches Belknap Press
