Letters of Emily Dickinson (Dover Books on Literature & Drama)
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The deep sensitivity, leavened by humor, that cources through Emily Dikinson's poetry is abundantly evident in her letters as well. This collection of Dickinson's letters originally appeared in 1894, only eight years after her death. Lovingly compiled by a close friend, Mabel Todd Loomis, this is the core of Emily Dickinson's correspondence as we know it. Although she grew reclusive in her later years and seldom saw her many friends, she thought of them often and affectionately, as her missives attest. The small cast of daily characters in her little world takes on vivid life in the letters: the father she revered; her brother, to whom she was passionately devoted; and her cherished sister, with whom she shared an intense bond. Best of all, her famous wit is evident on every page of these letters, which cast a welcome light on an important and enigmatic figure of American literature.
