		Wentworth, as he came to be called, was their tenth and last child, born December 22, 1823, in their home on “Professor’s Row” in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
		The extensive Higginson library, the intellectual community of Cambridge, and later, the broad education provided by Harvard College, which Higginson entered in 1837 when he was 13, helped prepare him for life as an intellectual in what was then America’s intellectual capital.
		Higginson’s advice to delay publication until she had “mastered” poetic orthodoxy has been accused of being the cause of Dickinson’s failure to print her poems during her lifetime—rather an insubstantial notion, given Dickinson’s own ideas about publication and how she chose to share her poems.

	Thomas Wentworth Higginson (1823-1911) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		It's almost impossible for students to connect the apostle of Nat Turner with the "mentor" of Emily Dickinson; a Christian minister; a colonel of a fl Civil War regiment; an active feminist; an important nineteenth-century editor.
		Higginson's picture is, of course, quite different, yet both can be understood, among other ways, as serving certain historical needs in their audience.
		Higginson's construction of Nat Turner can usefully be compared with Phillips's portrait of Toussaint, with Frederick Douglass's self-portrait (as well as with his picture of Madison Washington), and with the fl characters of Melville's "Benito Cereno." All these texts involve the issue of the "heroic slave"--what constitutes "heroism" in a slave.

	Dickinson and Higginson
		She challenged Higginson to tell her if her poems are "alive" and included four poems, "Safe in their Alabaster Chambers," "The nearest Dream recedes unrealized," "We play at Paste," and "I'll tell you how the Sun rose." This letter was the beginning of a correspondence that lasted for 23 years.
		Although most commentators have lingered long on the fact that Dickinson first responded to Higginson because of his "Letter to a Young Contributor," published in the April 1862 Atlantic, it was in fact his early nature essays to which she reacted most intensely.
		The fascicles show, perhaps, that she knew herself to be master of more than the isolated lyric, although why she did not send Higginson a complete fascicle as a demonstration of her organizing power (if that is what the groupings show) is a mystery.

		Thomas Wentworth Higginson was a contemporary writer and editor to Emily Dickinson.
		Indeed, after years of her pleading, Higginson made two trips (1870 and 1873) to Amherst to visit the Dickinson household.
