A Companion to Emily Dickinson: Blackwell Companions to Literature and Culture

The Companion is exceptionally broad in scope, covering biographical approaches to Dickinson, the historical, political, and cultural contexts of her work, and its critical reception over the years. Unusually, the volume also emphasizes issues relating to the different formats in which Dickinson's lyrics have been published - manuscript, print, halftone and digital facsimile. In all areas, readers are able to benefit from using the volume alongside the Dickinson Electronic Archives (http: //emilydickinson.org/BlackwellCompanion), an online resource developed over the past ten years by one of the editors, together with teams of Dickinson critics, and markup and programming specialists.
