Beskrivning
A landmark three-volume edition of Emily Dickinson’s poetry, offering an unprecedented window into the mind of a singular American poet.Emily Dickinson wrote nearly 1,800 poems in her lifetime—an astonishing body of work defined by her extraordinary intellect, quick wit, and striking originality. Although she sent hundreds of poems by letter to friends and family over the years, she published only a handful before her death in 1886. The vast majority exist as manuscripts, from working drafts to fair copy bound in small booklets known as fascicles.A landmark in literary scholarship, The Poems of Emily Dickinson: Variorum Edition presents 1,789 poems—the largest number ever assembled. Arranged chronologically, each poem is rendered with Dickinson's spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. Each entry also includes Dickinson’s variants and revisions, as well as information about the poem’s publication history. Prepared by the eminent Dickinson scholar R. W. Franklin, this edition also includes a thoughtful introduction that brings readers into the history of editing Dickinson’s poems.An indispensable resource for scholars and students alike, The Poems of Emily Dickinson: Variorum Edition sheds new light on the creative process of an inimitable American poet.

Recensioner i media

I think there will be a wide agreement regarding most of Franklin’s editorial decisions. He states his principles clearly and does not conceal his uncertainties (about the dating of individual poems, for example). He is deeply respectful of Dickinson’s writing practices, following her often erratic spelling and, ‘within the capacity of standard type,’ her capitalization and punctuation. His textual apparatus is informative without being intrusive, and includes such useful information as where Dickinson broke her lines on her manuscript sheets, as well as any other information—pinned attachments, tears in the paper, and the like—that might have a bearing on interpretation. All scholars and readers of Dickinson are in his debt.
