Though only ten of Emily Dickinson's
poems were published while she was alive,
her death revealed
1,789
poems, many of them
written out in handmade booklets, secreted in
a locked chest of drawers. She is now regarded
as one of the greatest poets of all time. Nevertheless,
Emily Dickinson has come down to us as an odd
and helpless woman who dressed in white and
shut herself away.
In this compelling new biography, Lyndall
Cordon sees instead a volcanic character
-
a soul at 'White Heat'— whose family harboured
a hothouse drama of adultery and devastating
betrayal involving the poet's brother Austin and a
talented young faculty wife, Mabel Loomis Todd.
During her lifetime Emily Dickinson witnessed
a split in her family and took her stand in the
ensuing feud: after her death she herself became
the feud's focus. Contesting camps fought for
possession of her papers: the Dickinsons and
their heirs versus the Todds and theirs. Over
three generations, the 'War between the Houses'
bred the purest hatred. Slanders distorted Susan,
the ousted wife who had been the poet's favourite
reader; and myths of sentimental retirement
grew up around the poet.
Stepping boldly into the story, Lyndall Gordon
presents a new solution to the secret of the poet's
insistent seclusion, and describes a woman beyond
her time who found love, spiritual quickening and
immortality all on her own terms.
Lyndall Gordon is the prize-winning
author of six biographies, including
T. S. Eliot: An Imperfect Life; Virginia
Woolf:
A Writer's Life; and Vindication: A Life of Mary
Wollstonecrafi. She has also written a memoir,
Shared Lives, about women's friendship in her
native South Africa. She is a senior research
fellow at St Hildas College, Oxford, a fellow
of the Royal Society of Literature and
a member of PEN.
