About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
The essential difficulty in presenting a Life of Emily Dickinson has been enhanced by the sacred pact observed with her chosen few, that all letters should be burned after her death. This excludes exactly those which might have held together the frail external incidents of her days , which seem so scantily supplied to those ignorant of the thronging events of the Spirit which eternally preoccupied her.
This present record is made up from family letters hitherto withheld, deathless recollections , and many sentences overheard from her own lips and scrupulously set down as too unique to he squandered upon the passing moment. The Letters formerly printed have now been chronologically arranged , and as far as of intrinsic value , retained; others have been added from my article in the “ Atlantic Monthly” and “The Single Hound” a volume composed entirely of poetic flashes sent to her brother's wife , my mother , on every gust of impulse.
Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) was an American poet. Born in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a successful family with strong community ties, she lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life, but today is considered to be one of the most influential poets in American history.
