"Emily Dickinson at Home" is a highly significant collection of eigtheen essays written by leading international scholars. The essays were originally delivered at the third Emily Dickinson International Society Conference at South Hadley, Mount Holyoke College, in August 1999. Each essay marks an important, original and highly readable contribution to contemporary areas of Dickinson study. Among the topics discussed are: Dickinson as a feminist poet, Dickinson's influence on comtemporary American writers, her relationship to the Hebrew Bible and slavery, the question of the poet's popularity in the Far East, recent investigations into Dickinson's poetic language, an analysis of her handwriting, and a thought-provoking thesis on Dickinson's implicit erotic language.
