	Emily Dickinson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dickinson was born in Amherst in western Massachusetts to a prominent family.
		William Austin Dickinson ( 1829 â“ 1895), usually known by his middle name, was her older brother, later married her friend Susan Gilbert in 1856 and made his home next door to the house in which Emily lived most of her life.
		After a possible short-lived romance with Emily Fowler circa 1850, some conjecture that the first major love interest of Dickinson's life was Susan Gilbert, a schoolteacher whom Dickinson fell in love with in 1851 and to whom she wrote numerous love letters.

	LectureEmilyDickinson
		Emily remained close to her aunt; and her cousins, the Norcross sisters, were the recipients of some of Emily's most intimate letters, even very late in her life.
		Emily, in spite of the affection she always felt for Sue, was on Austin's side in everything which was typical of the Dickinson family.
		Emily's voracious love-hunger was never satisfied, and she interpreted this failure as a cruel rejection and grew up in repressed bitterness toward her mother; resented being female; rebelled against traditional roles of the female; hence the theme of death, anxiety, suffering, deep sense of alienation.

	The Emily Dickinson Journal Volume III.1 1996 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Dickinson's multi-faceted and explicitly articulated awareness of processes of comparison and the relatively high rate of similes in her corpus suggest that the use of similes is a crucial aspect of her poetics that has been overlooked.
		Dickinson however, undermines the notion of the body as perishable container of the soul by inverting the traditional relation between its two components: in her simile, "house" is not the discardable container but the imperishable contained, the "Soul" itself.
		On the poem's surface, however, this inevitable defeat is camouflaged by the use of empirical sentence molds and of a highly eccentric formal connector ("Lest I sh'd be old fashioned") that distracts the reader's attention from the fact of there being a simile at the poem's end at all.

	Johnson Discussion
		The first "literary scholar" and "textual critic" to edit Dickinson, Johnson published all the "seventeen hundred seventy-five poems, together with the variants, that she is known to have written" (my emphasis, xii), forty-one of which were not previously published.
		He says of Dickinson's poems, "The text is always in one of three stages of composition: a fair copy, a semifinal draft, or a worksheet draft" ( xxxiii).
		In other words, Johnson seems unable to consider the fact that Emily may have finally intended her poems to be perpetually "unfinished." He acknowledges conscious experimentation on the part of Dickinson, but resists the notion of a dynamic poem in which variant words or lines may be chosen by the reader.

	The Emily Dickinson Journal Volume III.1 1996 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Dickinson's relationship to the biblical context of her heritage is as sure as Herbert's, but at the same time obscured, most prominently by the separate assaults transcendentalism and Higher Criticism dealt to Protestant typology.
		Dickinson casts her speaker in a role with multiple implications, ultimately springing her free from the tradition of biblical story by exposing the speaker's "countertext" finally as the central text of the poem.
		Dickinson's reinvention of Bible stories is in part the subject of Cynthia Griff in Wolff's biography of Dickinson, in which she describes the poet's struggle with God, paradigmatically the Old Testament story of Jacob's wrestling with God disguised as an angel, a story fundamental to the Calvinist conversion narratives in New England.

	The Emily Dickinson Journal Volume III.1 1996 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The opening line of that poem echoes her description of the sound of translation: "Not such a stanza splits the silence." Again, the dissonance between the music of the natural world and the social world prompts Dickinson to imagine a language rich with images that are truer to experience.
		Dickinson often tends to view any submission of thought to God or man as an act that restricts the individual, that results in spiritual impoverishment not fulfillment (even if there is great virtue in that poverty and sin in seeking self-actualization).
		Dickinson's despair seems a result of the belief, perhaps the knowledge, that as a woman in Amherst society it is her destiny to be sacrificed, if not to marriage, then to one of the few ways of life (all stifling to a woman of genius) available to spinsters.

	Johnson Poems
		Emily Dickinson was born to her talent but she felt no dedication to her art until she was about twenty-eight years old, in 1858.
		The poem sent to Sue in 1853, "On this wondrous sea" (no. 4), is duplicated in a packet of 1858, Perhaps 1858 was the year of Emily Dickinson's assurance of her destiny.
		Emily Dickinson's preoccupation with the subject of fame is a striking characteristic of the poems written between 1862 and 1865, the years of full creativeness.

	Emily Dickinson's Mystic Poetry
		The similarities to Dickinson’s insights despite the fact that she had direct access to Eastern wisdom is testimony to the universality of the experience of self realisation.
		According to Dickinson the moments of At–One–ment with Nature/Self happen “when the wind is within” (Thoreau wrote of ” ecstasies begotten of the breezes”) For the yogi or realised soul the sensation of this cool energy becomes his means of being sensitive to manifestations of Truth–Beauty–Love (Keats’ tripartite Unity).
		Virtually unknown in her lifetime(only ten of her poems were published) Dickinson now ranks with Walt Whiteman as one of the two great visionary names in 19th century American poetry, and has had an enormous impact on modern poetry generally.

	Emily Dickinson: Pagan Sphinx

		Intermittently in her 1,775 poems and approximately 1,100 extant letters (many poems were incorporated into the letters), she struck poses and adopted personas.
		Dickinson never joined the family church because she couldn’t testify to any visitation of the Holy Spirit, the ticket for membership.
