Emily Dickinson. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Bien qu’ayant été un auteur prolifique, moins d’une douzaine de ses presque mille huit cents poèmes ont été publiés de son vivant[N 1]. Ceux qui furent publiés alors étaient généralement modifiés par les éditeurs afin de se conformer aux règles poétiques de l’époque. Les poèmes de Dickinson sont uniques pour leur époque : ils sont constitués de vers très courts, n’ont pas de titres et utilisent fréquemment des rimes imparfaites et des majuscules et une ponctuation non conventionnelle[1].
Un grand nombre de ses poèmes traitent de la mort et de l’immortalité, des sujets récurrents dans sa correspondance avec ses amis. Même si la plupart de ses connaissances devaient savoir qu’Emily Dickinson écrivait, l’étendue de son œuvre ne fut connue qu’après sa mort, en 1886, quand Lavinia, sa plus jeune sœur, découvre sa cachette de poèmes. Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] Environnement familial et enfance[modifier | modifier le code] Emily Dickinson, biographie, Club des Poetes. Emily Dickinson. Emily Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts. She attended Mount Holyoke Female Seminary in South Hadley, but only for one year. Throughout her life, she seldom left her home and visitors were few. The people with whom she did come in contact, however, had an enormous impact on her poetry. She was particularly stirred by the Reverend Charles Wadsworth, whom she first met on a trip to Philadelphia.
He left for the West Coast shortly after a visit to her home in 1860, and some critics believe his departure gave rise to the heartsick flow of verse from Dickinson in the years that followed. While it is certain that he was an important figure in her life, it is not clear that their relationship was romantic—she called him "my closest earthly friend. " By the 1860s, Dickinson lived in almost complete isolation from the outside world, but actively maintained many correspondences and read widely.

The only authenticated portrait of Emily Dickinson later than childhood, the original is held by the Archives and Special Collections at Amherst College.[1] Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Born in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a successful family with strong community ties, she lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life.
After she studied at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she spent a short time at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's house in Amherst. Thought of as an eccentric by the locals, she became known for her penchant for white clothing and her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, even leave her room.
