"Building on the work of former and contemporary scholars, My Wars Are Laid Away in Books brings to light a wide range of new material from legal archives, congregational records, contemporary women's writing, and previously unpublished fragments of Dickinson's own letters. Habegger discovers the best available answers to the pressing questions about the poet: Was she lesbian? Who was the person she evidently loved? Why did she refuse to publish, and why was this refusal so integral an aspect of her work? Habegger also illuminates many of the essential connections in Dickinson's story: between the decay of doctrinal Protestantism and the emergence of her riddling lyric vision; between her father's political isolation after the Whig Party's collapse and her private poetic vocation; between her frustrated quest for human intimacy and the tuning of her uniquely seductive voice."--Jacket. 000706955 586__ $$aOregon Book Award for Literary Nonfiction, 2002. 000706955 60010 $$aDickinson, Emily,$$d1830-1886. 000706955 650_0 $$aPoets, American$$y19th century$$vBiography. 000706955 650_0 $$aWomen and literature$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000706955 85200 $$bgen$$hPS1541.Z5$$iH32$$i2001 000706955 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy022/2001019429.html 000706955 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0612/2001019429-s.html 000706955 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0612/2001019429-d.html 000706955 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0612/2001019429-b.html 000706955 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:706955$$pGLOBAL_SET 000706955 980__ $$aBIB 000706955 980__ $$aBOOK
