Description
The strange rhymes of Emily Dickinson's verse have offended some readers, attracted others, and proved a stumbling block for editors and critics. This book, the first and only thorough analysis of the poet's rhyming practice, reveals the vital aesthetic and semantic value of her rhymes. Sensitive close readings of individual poems show that Dickinson's deviations from 'normal' rhyme schemes play a significant part in her artistic design, helping to structure her lyrics and contributing to their dynamic shifts of mood and meaning.
