Synopsis "The Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson (Volume 8) (Timeless Classics, 8)"

Explore the essence of life, love, nature, and time in exquisite verse with this elegantly designed edition of Emily Dickinson's finest poems. Born in 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a prominent New England family and educated at Amherst Academy and Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary, Emily Elizabeth Dickinson lived most of her life in seclusion, devoted to writing. She scarcely left home, nor did she have many visitors. Only ten of her poems were published in her lifetime, submitted without her permission by friends. It was only after her death in 1886 that the scope of her work as a poet came to light--over 1,700 poems were discovered in a dresser drawer by her sister, Lavinia. Emily Dickinson's poems reflect her loneliness, as well as her love of nature, the influence of the Metaphysical poets of seventeenth century England, and her strong Puritan religious beliefs. Yet, it is her use of language, form, and the deceptive simplicity of her verse that categorize her as an important force in nineteenth century American letters and, along with Walt Whitman, a founder of a distinctly American voice in modern poetry. PRELUDE THIS is my letter to the world, That never wrote to me, -- That simple news that Nature told, With tender majesty. Her message is committed To hands I cannot see; For love of her, sweet countrymen, Judge tenderly of me! The Timeless Classics series from Rock Point brings together the works of classic authors from around the world. Complete and unabridged, these elegantly designed gift editions feature luxe, patterned endpapers, ribbon markers, and foil and deboss details on vibrantly colored cases. Celebrate these beloved works of literature as true standouts in your personal library collection.

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (Amherst, Massachusetts, 10 de diciembre de 1830 - Amherst, 15 de mayo de 1886) fue una poetisa estadounidense, su poesía apasionada la ha colocado en el reducido panteón de poetas fundamentales estadounidenses junto a Edgar Allan Poe, Ralph Waldo Emerson y Walt Whitman.

Dickinson procedía de una familia de prestigio y poseía fuertes lazos con su comunidad, aunque vivió gran parte de su vida recluida en su casa. Tras estudiar durante siete años en Amherst Academy, asistió brevemente al seminario femenino Mount Holyoke antes de regresar a la casa familiar en Amherst.

En la intimidad de su hogar, Dickinson era una prolífica poeta; sin embargo, durante su vida no se llegó a publicar ni una docena de sus casi 1800 poemas. El trabajo publicado durante su vida fue alterado significativamente por los editores, adaptándolos a las reglas y convenciones poéticas de la época. No obstante, los poemas de Dickinson son únicos en comparación con los de sus contemporáneos: contienen líneas cortas, por lo general carecen de título, contienen rimas consonantes imperfectas [half rhyme] y una puntuación poco convencional. Muchos de sus poemas se centran en temas relacionados con la muerte y la inmortalidad, dos temas también recurrentes en las cartas que enviaba a sus amigos.

Los conocidos de Dickinson probablemente sabían de sus escritos pero no fue hasta después de su muerte, en 1886, cuando Lavinia, la hermana pequeña de Dickinson, descubrió los poemas que Emily guardaba y se logró hacer evidente la amplitud de su obra. Su primera colección de poesías se publicó en 1890 por conocidos personajes como Thomas Wentworth Higginson y Mabel Loomis Todd, aunque alteraron significativamente los originales. El erudito Thomas H. Johnson publicó en 1955 una colección completa de Dickinson, la primera de su poesía, y en su mayoría sin cambios. A pesar de que tuvo una crítica y recepción desfavorable y escéptica entre finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, Emily Dickinson está considerada de forma casi universal como una de las más importantes poetas estadounidenses de todos los tiempos.
