W. Franklin\u003c\/b\u003e (Editor)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmily Dickinson, poet of the interior life, imagined words\/swords, hurling barbed syllables\/piercing. Nothing about her adult appearance or habitation revealed such a militant soul. Only poems, written quietly in a room of her own, often hand-stitched in small volumes, then hidden in a drawer, revealed her true self. She did not live in time but in universals--an acute, sensitive nature reaching out boldly from self-referral to a wider, imagined world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDickinson died without fame; only a few poems were published in her lifetime. Her legacy was later rescued from her desk--an astonishing body of work, much of which has since appeared in piecemeal editions, sometimes with words altered by editors or publishers according to the fashion of the day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow Ralph Franklin, the foremost scholar of Dickinson's manuscripts, has prepared an authoritative one-volume edition of all extant poems by Emily Dickinson--1,789 poems in all, the largest number ever assembled. This reading edition derives from his three-volume work, \u003ci\u003eThe Poems of Emily Dickinson: Variorum Edition\u003c\/i\u003e (1998), which contains approximately 2,500 sources for the poems. In this one-volume edition, Franklin offers a single reading of each poem--usually the latest version of the entire poem--rendered with Dickinson's spelling, punctuation, and capitalization intact. \u003ci\u003eThe Poems of Emily Dickinson: Reading Edition\u003c\/i\u003e is a milestone in American literary scholarship and an indispensable addition to the personal library of poetry lovers everywhere.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 696\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 8.7 x 5.64 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47379557318834,"sku":"9780674018242","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/ce28f397ba933b21d36a435b8cf33333.webp?v=1777766118","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-poems-of-emily-dickinson-reading-edition-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
