Essay from the year 2002 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1.0 (A), University of Kent (School of English), course: Nineteenth-Century American Literature, language: English, abstract: After the first two volumes of Emily Dickinson's poems appeared posthumouslyin 1890 and 1891, there were many negative reviews of her work, such as,If Miss Dickinson's disjecta membra are poems, then Shakespeare's prolongedimposition should be exposed without further loss of time ... Miss Dickinson'sversicles have a queerness and a quaintness that have stirred a momentarycuriosity in emotional bosoms. Oblivion lingers in the immediateneighbourhood.1Today, however, Dickinson's poetry is widely regarded as a milestone in Americanliterature. Dickinson has become a classic, famous for her vivid, powerful imagery andinnovative style. In fact, some critics consider her 'the finest American woman poet'2and claim that '[h]er accomplishment is so radically original that the entire model ofwhat poetry can know (and write) changes when her work is taken into account.'3 Thereis an extensive range of criticism on Emily Dickinson's poetry, many of which focuseson her treatment of five dominant themes, that is, life, death, immortality, love andnature. Dickinson's early editors as well as critics including Ruth Flanders McNaughtongroup the poems in these categories. According to Henry W. Wells, about one quarter ofDickinson's poems deals chiefly with the theme of death. 4 This part of EmilyDickinson's poetry will be in the centre of this essay. The essay will, first of all, explainwhy the theme is so important for the poet. Why does Dickinson appear to bepreoccupied with death? Is it natural for her to make death one of her central topics?1 Anonymous, 'The New Pastoral Poetry,' The Atlantic Monthly, 69, January 1892,p.144, quoted in Ruth Flanders McNaughton, The Imagery of Emily Dickinson,Norwood Editions, 1970, p. vii2 David Porter, Dickinson: The Modern Idiom, Harvard University Press, 1981, p.1,quoted in Helen McNeil, Emily Dickinson, Virago Press, 1986, p.13 Helen McNeil, Emily Dickinson, Virago Press, 1986, p.14 Henry W.
