                    Emily Elizabeth Dickinson 

                  (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886)

 EMILY DICKINSON'S POETRY REFLECTS HER LONELINESS AND THE SPEAKERS OF HER POEMS GENERALLY LIVE IN A STATE OF WANT,BUT HER POEMS ARE ALSO MARKED BY THE INTIMATE RECOLLECTION OF INSPIRATIONAL MOMENTS WHICH ARE DECIDEDLY LIFE-GIVING AND SUGGEST THE POSSIBILITY OF HAPPINESS. HER WORK HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY THE METAPHYSICAL POETS OF SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND,AS WELL AS HER READING OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION AND HER UPBRINGING IN A PURITAN  NEW ENGLAND TOWN WHICH ENCOURAGED A CALVINIST,ORTHODOX AND CONSERVATIVE APPROACH TO CHRISTIANITY. 

RECENT STUDY IN HER POEMS REVEALED HOW DOUBLE MEANING CARRIED HER POEMS. INTERESTED READERS MAY GO THROUGH THE BOOK " EMILY DICKINSON'S SECRET LANGUAGE "  A LINK IS ALSO PROVIDED HERE :
