      abstract = {In 1882, Emily Dickinson's brother, Austin, began an  adulterous love affair with the accomplished and ravishing  Mabel Todd, setting in motion a series of events that would  forever change the lives of the Dickinson family.  Award-winning biographer Lyndall Gordon tells the story of  the feud that erupted-and that still continues today.  Making unprecedented use of letters, diaries, and legal  documents, Gordon proposes a groundbreaking new solution to  the secret behind the poet's insistent seclusion,  presenting a woman beyond her time who found love,  spirituality, and immortality all on her own terms.  The  first major biography of Dickinson in nearly ten years,  Lives Like Loaded Guns is a highly acclaimed story of  creative genius, illicit passion, and betrayal that will  forever change the way we view one of America's most  important literary figures.},
