The Poems of Emily Dickinson

Více o knize

Emily Dickinson's poetry remained largely unpublished during her lifetime, with only a handful of her nearly eighteen hundred poems making it to print, often altered to conform to contemporary standards. While her friends likely knew of her writing, it wasn't until her sister Lavinia uncovered her extensive collection after Dickinson's death in 1886 that the full scope of her literary genius came to light. This posthumous revelation highlights the contrast between her innovative style and the conventional norms of her era.
