By the Book: Bibliography - Emily Dickinson

Poet, recluse, mystery - Emily Dickinson's writing was only discovered after her death, and has been studied for over a century since. With her allusive, unconventional style, singular punctuation, and preoccupation with the themes of death and mortality, her work (and her personal life) has long fascinated readers. In this episode of Bibliography, we talk about the life and work of Emily Dickinson, and try to understand what we can actually learn and understand from a body of work read entirely without its writer to contextualise it.
