Changing Rapture: Emily Dickinson's Poetic Development by Aliki BarnstoneISBN: 9781584655343
Publication Date: 2007-07-31
Aliki Barnstone challenges the critical commonplace that Emily Dickinson's poetry did not change and evolve over the course of her career as a poet. She argues that this notion of her lack of development, while it contributes the established myth of the isolated and timeless Dickinson, has tended to diminish our appreciation of her as a poet and thinker, whose work is both an innovative artistic achievement and a cultural commentary.

Emily Dickinson and the Religious Imagination by Linda FreedmanISBN: 9780511795022
Publication Date: 2011-09-07
This book is the first to consider Dickinson's religious imagery outside the dynamic of her personal faith and doubt. It argues that religious myths and symbols, from the sun-god to the open tomb, are essential to understanding the similetic movement of Dickinson's poetry - the reach for a comparable, though not identical, experience in the struggles and wrongs of Abraham, Jacob and Moses, and the life, death and resurrection of Christ. Linda Freedman situates the poet within the context of American typology.

Reading in Time: Emily Dickinson in the Nineteenth Century by Cristanne MillerISBN: 9781558499515
Publication Date: 2012-05-18
This book provides new information about Emily Dickinson as a writer and new ways of situating this poet in relation to nineteenth-century literary culture, examining how we read her poetry and how she was reading the poetry of her own day. Cristanne Miller argues both that Dickinson's poetry is formally far closer to the verse of her day than generally imagined and that Dickinson wrote, circulated, and retained poems differently before and after 1865.

Dickinson's Misery: A Theory of Lyric Reading by Virginia JacksonISBN: 9781400850754
Publication Date: 2013-12-03
In Dickinson's Misery, Virginia Jackson poses fundamental questions about reading habits we have come to take for granted. Jackson makes the argument that the century and a half spanning the circulation of Dickinson's work tells the story of a shift in the publication, consumption, and interpretation of lyric poetry. This shift took the form of what this book calls the "lyricization of poetry," a set of print and pedagogical practices that collapsed the variety of poetic genres into lyric as a synonym for poetry.
