Nothing about her adult appearance or habitation revealed such a militant soul. Only poems, written quietly in a room of her own, often hand-stitched in small volumes, then hidden in a drawer, revealed her true self. She did not live in time but in universals--an acute, sensitive nature reaching out boldly from self-referral to a wider, imagined world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDickinson died without fame; only a few poems were published in her lifetime. Her legacy was later rescued from her desk--an astonishing body of work, much of which has since appeared in piecemeal editions, sometimes with words altered by editors or publishers according to the fashion of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow Ralph Franklin, the foremost scholar of Dickinson's manuscripts, has prepared an authoritative one-volume edition of all extant poems by Emily Dickinson--1,789 poems in all, the largest number ever assembled. This reading edition derives from his three-volume work, \u003ci\u003eThe Poems of Emily Dickinson: Variorum Edition\u003c\/i\u003e (1998), which contains approximately 2,500 sources for the poems. In this one-volume edition, Franklin offers a single reading of each poem--usually the latest version of the entire poem--rendered with Dickinson's spelling, punctuation, and capitalization intact. \u003ci\u003eThe Poems of Emily Dickinson: Reading Edition\u003c\/i\u003e is a milestone in American literary scholarship and an indispensable addition to the personal library of poetry lovers everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Belknap Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674018242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 692\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.64w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2005 pg. 141\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Emily Dickinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36639825232028,"sku":"9780674018242","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_9d29b258-696b-4f7f-afcb-38a80838473f.jpg?v=1603850690","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-poems-of-emily-dickinson-reading-edition-9780674018242","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
