Biography of Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
from Michael Myers, Thinking and Writing About Literature The Dickinsons were well known in Massachusetts. Her father ws a lawyer and served as the treasurer of Amherst College (a position Austin eventually took up as well), and her grandfather was one of the college's founders. Although nineteenth-century politics, economics, and social issues do not appear in the foreground of her poetry, Dickinson lived in a family environment that was steeped in them: her father was an active town official and served in the General Court of Massachusetts, the State Senate, and the United States House of Representatives. Dickinson, however, withdrew not only from her father's public world but also from almost all social life in Amherst. She refused to see most people, and aside from a single year at South Hadley Female Seminary (now Mount Holyoke College), one excursion to Philadelphia and Washington, and several brief trips to Boston to see a doctor about eye problems, she lived all her life in her father's house. She dressed only in white and developed a reputation as a reclusive eccentric. Dickinson selected her own society carefully and frugally. Like her poetry, her relationship to the world was intensely reticent. Indeed, during the last twenty years of her life she rarely left the house. Though Dickinson never married, she had significant relationships with several men who were friends, confidantes, and mentors. She also enjoyed an intimate relationship with her friend Susan Huntington Gilbert, who became her sister-in-law by marrying Austin. Susan and her husband lived next door and were extremely close with Dickinson. Biographers have attempted to find in a number of her relationships the source for the passion of some of her love poems and letters, but no biographer has been able to identify definitely the object of Dickinson's love. What matters, of course, is not with whom she was in loveif, in fact, there was any single personbut that she wrote about such passions so intensely and convincingly in her poetry.

Except for a dozen poems, most of Dickinson's work was not published in her lifetime. She did, however, carefully collect her poems into handmade booklets, or "fascicles," of about twenty poems each. Her purpose in organizing her poetry this way remains unclear; she may have desired a private archive for retrieving poems she wished to revise, and it has been suggested that the fascicles are organized by theme. Scholars have long been fascinated by this and other mysteries of her intensely private life, including her sexuality: Dickinson never married, and the evidence suggests that she felt some variety of passionate affection for both men and women (especially her sister-in-law, Susan, one of only a few people to whom she privately sent poems). A half-century after her death, the three volumes of The Poems of Emily Dickinson

[Poem] [c. 1863 May] / [Emily Dickinson]. Dickinson, Emily, 1830-1886. [c. 1863 May]. [1] leaf, folded. A typed transcription of the poem accompanies it as well as a portrait of Dickinson, a collection note, and a letter from Dickinson scholar Thomas Johnson regarding the probable date of composition. See also other poets' manuscripts in the collection: Rossetti, Clare, and Whitman. According to the theory advanced by Thomas Johnson, an editor of Dickinson's work, in his letter to Lehigh's librarian, the poem may commemorate the death of Mrs. Norcross and may have been composed in May of 1863. Though she rarely ventured far from her home in Amherst, Massachusetts, Dickinson's poetry has traveled far. She began to be preoccupied with poetry in 1861, and though only two of her poems were published during her lifetime (and not by her own initiation), the poems discovered after her death filled three volumes published in 1890, 1891, and 1896 with a fourth appearing in 1914 and a fifth in 1929.

Emily Dickinson Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), who was born and died in Amhert, Mass., is known for her deceptively short and simple verses deceptive in that her ideas are actually quite eloquent. [ Click to Order The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson (soft $$) ] She attended Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke Female Semi- nary, and began to write in the 1850s keeping her poems in small, hand-bound booklets. While her early poems were simple in form and sentiment, her later poems became more experimental and complex. Her efforts toward concision often meant stripping her sentences and lines to their most basic form. Also of note, she greatly experimented with the use of off-rhyme (near-rhyme). Her poems were not published until after her death. Not knowing her motives, editors "revised" her works by adding punctuation mistakes that still haunt many published editions of her poems. XVIII.

She preferred the solitude of her white-washed poet's room, or the birds, bees, and flowers of her garden to the visitations of family and friends. But for three occasions in her life she never left her native Amherst, MA; for the last twenty of her fifty-six years, she rarely left her house. And yet her reclusive existence in no way restricted her abundant life of the imagination. Her letters and poems, all except seven published posthumously, revealed her to be an inspired visionary and true original of American literature.

Dickinson's girlhood was spent in the usual flurry of feminine activities of the day; she enjoyed a reputation as the witty Belle of Amherst for a time, and she spent a year away from home at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary from 1847-48.

Boston Famous People Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

Emily Dickinson was born, lived, and died in Amherst, Massachusetts, living in her family´s home the entire time, and rarely traveling. Her family was very much into politics and education, and Emily went to the Mount Holyoke Female Seminary. She enjoyed writing poetry, but over the years became more and more secluded.
By the time she turned 23, she rarely left her room - just writing letters to friends, and poetry. Some feel that this was because of a romantic disappointment, but there is no solid answer to why Emily stayed so shut in.
Emily became even more of a recluse in her later years, refusing to talk to visitors. She poured all of her energy into her poetry. Very few of them were ever seen by outsiders. It was only after Emily died at age 56 that her sister, Lavinia, published the works. Printer Friendly Version The Boston Famous People Category

Because I Could Not Stop For Death
Because I could not stop for Death
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And immortality. We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labor, and my leisure too,
For his civility. We passed the School where Children strove
At Recess in the Ring;
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain,
We passed the Setting Sun. Or rather He passed us
The Dews grew quivering and chill For only Gossamer, my Gown My Tippet only Tulle He paused before a house that seemed A swelling of the ground' The roof was scarcely visible, The cornice but a mound. Since then 'tis centuries; but each Feels shorter than the day I first surmised the horses' heads Were toward eternity.
