On Emily Dickinson
The essay on her poem will not be back, and that's good news for me!!
Re personae, and worth remembering.
In an 1862 letter to TW Higginson, Dickinson warned against this when reading her poetry: “When I state myself, as the Representative of the Verse – it does not mean – me – but a supposed person.”
