This comprehensive and authoritative collection of all 1,775 poems by
Emily Dickinson is an essential volume for all lovers of American
literature.
Only eleven of Emily Dickinson's poems were published prior to her death
in 1886; the startling originality of her work doomed it to obscurity
in her lifetime. Early posthumous published collections — some of them
featuring liberally "edited" versions of the poems — did not fully and
accurately represent Dickinson's bold experiments in prosody, her tragic
vision, and the range of her intellectual and emotional explorations.
Not until the 1955 publication of The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson,
a three-volume critical edition compiled by Thomas H. Johnson, were
readers able for the first time to assess, understand, and appreciate
the whole of Dickinson's extraordinary poetic genius.
This book, a distillation of the three-volume Complete Poems, brings
together the original texts of all 1,775 poems that Emily Dickinson
wrote.
"With its chronological arrangement of the poems, this volume becomes
more than just a collection; it is at the same time a poetic biography
of the thoughts and feelings of a woman whose beauty was deep and
lasting." —San Francisco Chronicle
