- Description
- In this book an exploration of the significance of musical imagery and form in the poetry and prose of the American poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886). Subjects include the music of Dickinson's life and times and how it influenced her writing, how she combined music and poetry to create her own style, what nineteenth century reviews reveal about the musical quality of her work, and her use of Protestant hymns as a model for her poetry. Insights into musical interpretations of her poetry as related to the author by some fifty modern-day composers and arrangers are also considered.
