Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Emily Dickinson: Friend and Neighbor' provides a warm and intimate perspective on the life of the legendary American poet, Emily Dickinson. Written by MacGregor Jenkins, who knew the Dickinson family personally during his childhood in Amherst, Massachusetts, this memoir offers a unique look at the private world of a woman often shrouded in mystery. Rather than focusing solely on her literary output, the work captures the everyday interactions, local reputation, and personal character of the poet through the eyes of someone who shared her immediate social landscape.The narrative explores the Dickinson household and the surrounding community, presenting Dickinson not merely as a reclusive genius but as a living presence-a friend and a neighbor. It details her kindness toward children, her connection to the natural world of her garden, and the domestic realities of her life in the mid-to-late 19th century. By humanizing the 'Myth of Amherst,' this work serves as an essential primary source for readers and scholars alike, offering anecdotal evidence and personal reflections that enrich our understanding of one of the most significant figures in English literature.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
