1894 1st Letters of Emily Dickinson American

1894 1st Letters of Emily Dickinson American Transcendental Poetry Mabel Todd

Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886) is one of America’s greatest and most original poets of all time. She challenged the definitions of poetry, experimented with expression, and created a new type of persona for the first person. Dickinson crafted in her writing a distinctively elliptical language for expressing what was possible but not yet realized.

Mabel Loomis Todd sent proofs of the ‘Letters’ to every correspondent who allowed letters from Dickinson to be published in 1894 (Myerson). No one played a more crucial part in the early acceptance of Dickinson as a major American poet than Mabel Loomis Todd. She was the first posthumous steward of Dickinson's work, seeing the poems and letters into print for the first time.
