The Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson, Paperback / softback Book

The Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson Paperback / softback

Part of the Wordsworth Poetry Library series

Paperback / softback

Description

With an Introduction by Emma Hartnoll. Initially a vivacious, outgoing person, Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) progressively withdrew into a reclusive existence.

An undiscovered genius during her lifetime, only seven out of her total of 1,775 poems were published prior to her death.

She had an immense breadth of vision and a passionate intensity and awe for life, love, nature, time and eternity. Originally branded an eccentric, Emily Dickinson is now recognised as a major poet of great depth, startling originality and courage for as she wrote: ‘Assent and you are sane; /Demure you’re straightaway dangerous / And handled with a chain’.
