Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson studied the classics, literature, history, natural science, and mathematics at Amherst Academy school. She was known to be an avid reader and had a passion for poetry from a young age.

The speaker in Dickinson's poem "I never saw a moor" expresses a sense of faith in the unseen and the intangible. The speaker finds comfort and reassurance in the belief that things exist beyond what is visible or tangible, suggesting a deep faith in the unknown.

When Emily Dickinson laments that her life has closed twice before its close she is telling the reader that her parents have both preceded her in death. Dickinson lived life as a recluse. She was particularly close to her father (as many daughters are) and after his untimely death, she and her fellow spinster sister had to care for their mother who becamebedridden and incapacitated a year later. Her mother remained that way for nearly ten years. Still Dickinson's life revolved around around them since besides poetry and gardening, she had little else going on in her life. Once you realize this about the first line, the rest of the poem makes sense.

Emily's bother was Austin. He was one of her favorite people. He married Sue, one of Emily's best friends.

Emily Dickinson began to be recognized as an important poet after her death in 1886. Her unique style and introspective poetry gained popularity in the early 20th century, as critics and scholars started to appreciate her unconventional approach to writing. Dickinson's work continues to be celebrated for its timeless themes and innovative use of language.

As an adult, Emily Dickinson led a reclusive life in Amherst, Massachusetts, where she focused on her writing and correspondence with friends and family. She lived a largely isolated existence, rarely leaving her home, and her poetry was not widely recognized until after her death. Despite her unconventional lifestyle, Dickinson's work has since earned her a reputation as one of America's greatest poets.

Emily Dickinson was very important. She served as inspiration to poets for generations to come. She was also one of America's early female poets,allowing females to get into the literary world.

Well, Emily had an older brother named Austin, and a younger sister named Lavinia. She was the middle child being about a year younger than her brother, and three years older than her sister. She was a very intelligent child who was rather shy. Apparently she never had a very close relationship to her mother as her mother was sometimes a little hard to get close to. It seemed as though Emilys' father favored her more than her sister Lavinia and her mother favored Lavinia more. Both parents probably favored Austin more considering he was a boy, and that is how it usually worked back then. Even though Emily was without a doubt very good at learning and had a passion for education and reading, they expected her brother to achieve greatness, not her. Emilys' father Edward encouraged his daughters to get a good education though sending them to good schools. The children were raised in a Puritan family with the same religious beliefes. Emily was confused about her faith and stated she was not religious like them but probably felt the pressure to be. Her childhood was probably a descent one with ups and downs like any. She loved to learn to play the piano and sang as well. Emily also loved nature and all it's creatures. As a teenager her father bought her a dog that she named Carlo. She was very attached to the dog and often wrote about him in letters. She appeared to be a pretty normal child aside from being very shy and quite. Her Aunt said Emily was a very well behaved child who was little trouble.

Emily Post is the author of the famous book "Etiquette" (1922), which covers various aspects of social behavior and manners. Her work has become a classic reference for proper etiquette in various social situations.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm - That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm -

Though it has never been proven, there were rumors that Emily Dickinson was in love with her best friend and sister-in-law, Susan Gilbert. She sent Susan over three hundrend letters over the course of their friendship. These letter were filled with demand for Susan's affection. Most likely, however, these rumors were just rumors. Many historians speculate that Emily Dickinson had a failed love affair with either the Reverend Charles Wadsworth, with whom she corresponded or Samuel Bowles, who was the editor of the Springfield Republican. She addressed many of her poems to Bowles. In 1861-62 she had a crisis. In this year both men left her. Wadsworth had moved to San Francisco and Bowles spent 1861 traveling inEurope. When he returned in the fall of 1862 Dickinson did not want anything to do with him. Dickinson may never have been married because she suffered from severe depression. Throughout her adult life she was plagued by the constant death of close friends. Toward the the end of her live she seldom left her home and rarely spoke to anyone face to face. Instead, she spoke to most people through a door.
