内容説明・目次

内容説明

William H. Shurr presents here a reading of Dickinson's poems in the order in which she herself arranged them, based upon the recent reconstruction of the manuscript fascicles. In this new fascicle sequence - love, marriage, and separation - there is also recorded a growing erotic attraction, an initial refusal of sexual intimacy, and then the full enjoyment of sexual union. There follows poems which contain images of pregnancy and childbearing, possibly of a painful abortion, and of subsequent shame, guilt, disillusion, and isolation. The Emily Dickinson revealed here is a warmer, more human poet, whose intensely compacted poems sprang from an immediate, deeply felt experience of love and loss. The reasons for her reclusive separation from the world after 1861, her refusal to publish her work, the story of her closely held secrets - all are among the subjects explored in this book, which opens Dickinson's life and poetry to a new understanding.
