Produktbeschreibung
This Companion to America's greatest woman poet showcases the diversity and excellence that characterize the thriving field of Dickinson studies. The volume's original contributions are written by cutting-edge scholars and provide incisive interventions into current critical discussions as well as opening up fresh areas of critical inquiry. They feature new work being done in the critique of nineteenth-century American poetry, as well as new work being done in Dickinson studies. The Companion is exceptionally broad in scope, covering biographical approaches to Dickinson, the historical, political, and cultural contexts of her work, and its critical reception over the years. Unusually, the volume also emphasizes issues relating to the different formats in which Dickinson's lyrics have been published - manuscript, print, halftone and digital facsimile. In all areas, readers are able to benefit from using the volume alongside the Dickinson Electronic Archives (http: //emilydickinson.org/BlackwellCompanion), an online resource developed over the past ten years by one of the editors, together with teams of Dickinson critics, and markup and programming specialists.

Rezensionen
"The twenty-six essays that make up this Companion are allof extremely high quality [and] each is quite distinct from theothers.... This book is an essential addition to any universitylibrary where Dickinson's poetry is included on courses, at anylevel, and would add depth and breadth to public librarycollections where Dickinson's poetry is already of significantinterest." (Reference Reviews, November 2009)

"The essays show the breadth, depth, and vitality of currentscholarship in Dickinson studies. Indexed and selectivelyillustrated with black and white photographs, this volume merits aplace alongside An Emily Dickinson Encyclopedia and TheEmily Dickinson Handbook, but is unique in offering readers thebenefits of digital collaboration." (Emily DickinsonInternational Society Bulletin, Fall 2008)
