Brief Biography: American lyric poet who is noted for her eloquent, concise, and deceptively simple verses. Dickinson was educated at Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke Female Seminary. Though she began to write verse around 1850, only a handful of her 1,775 poems can be dated before 1858, when she began to collect them into small, hand-sewn booklets. In the 1850s she began two of her significant correspondences - with Dr. and Mrs. Josiah G. Holland and with Samuel Bowles. The two men were editors of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, a paper that took an interest in literary matters. Dickinson's poems of the 1850s are fairly conventional in sentiment and form but beginning about 1860 she began to experiment with both language and prosody. In 1864 and 1865 persistent eye trouble caused her to live several months in Cambridge, Mass., where she sought treatment. Soon after Dickinson's death, Lavinia, her sister determined to have Emily's poems published. In 1890 Poems by Emily Dickinson, edited by T.W. Higgginson and Mabel Loomis Todd appeared. Other volumes of Dickinson poems were published between 1891 and 1957, and in 1955 Thomas H. Johnson edited all the surviving poems and their variant versions.Source: Merriam Webster's Encyclopedia of Literature |
