Sobre este item
E-304. Very Good. Hardcover. Hardcover. 12mo. Roberts Brothers, Boston, MA. 1890. Xii, 152 pgs. Eleventh edition. Bound in white with grey cloth spine, spine lettered in gilt with all page edges gilt. Boards are lightly worn with some light soil present to the edges of the boards. Previous owner's name present to the FFEP. Light foxing present, text is free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Although Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime. The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. Although most of her acquaintances were probably aware of Dickinson's writing, it was not until after her death in 1886-when Lavinia, Emily's younger sister, discovered her cache of poems-that the breadth of Dickinson's work became apparent. Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
Sinopse
Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886) was an eccentric, reclusive poet, though born to a family of good standing within their Massachusetts community. She had fewer than a dozen poems published in her lifetime, though posthumously her sister found a cache of nearly eighteen hundred, all of which have now been published. Emily's style was broke with the common forms of poetry at the time, and foreshadowed what was to come. Her work was harshly criticized when first published, but she is now considered one of the American greats.
