While her letters often contain poems, and some consist entirely of a single poem, they also constitute a rich genre all their own. Over the course of her lifetime, she sent more than 1,300 letters--alternately humorous, provocative, affectionate, and philosophical--to members of her extensive community. Through this correspondence, Dickinson appears in her many facets as a reader, writer, and thinker; social commentator and comedian; friend, neighbor, sister, and daughter. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawn from Cristanne Miller and Domhnall Mitchell's highly acclaimed \u003ci\u003eLetters of Emily Dickinson, \u003c\/i\u003e this edition features a thoughtfully curated selection of the poet's correspondence. The letters presented here range from youthful missives to mature meditations, including dozens of \"letter-poems\" that Dickinson sent to friends and family without accompanying prose. Meticulous annotations and new headnotes situate her writing firmly in relation to national and international events, as well as the rhythms of daily life in her hometown of Amherst, Massachusetts. What emerges is not the reclusive Dickinson of legend but a poet deeply embedded in the political and literary currents of her time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePresenting Dickinson's correspondence in all its complexity and brilliance, \u003ci\u003eThe Selected Letters of Emily Dickinson\u003c\/i\u003e sheds light on the capacious mind of a great American poet and her vast network of relationships.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emily Dickinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 067430635X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674306356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Belknap Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Emily Dickinson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48997724291327,"sku":"9780674306356","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-selected-letters-of-emily-emily-dickinson-9780674306356","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
