Description
Susan Howe's My Emily Dickinson explores the poet's intellectual reach by re-examining her use of wide reading. By closely attending to well-known poems and tracing connections to other writers, local histories, and cultural influences, Howe reveals new insights into Dickinson's life as language and landscape. Dickinson's work is characterized by a dynamic interplay between text and context, with the poet pulling and re-writing from existing texts to create something new. This book offers a nuanced understanding of Dickinson's unique approach to poetry and its significance in literary scholarship. Through her analysis, Howe sheds light on the ways in which earlier scholarship may have underestimated Dickinson's intellectual scope, highlighting the importance of considering the full range of her influences and references.
