This book is a biography of Emily Dickinson. A very thorough biography. That being said, if you're interested in the growth of prominent literary figures, this would be a great biography to pick up. It is a slow read. I began this book for a free Barnes & Noble University course about Emily Dickinson and her poetry last October, read ax. 250 pages during the month-long course, and set the book down. Determined to finish during this course's July session, though! Despite being slow to read, the author presents a lot of background information and also points out topics of scholarly debate.
Highly Recommended for those interested in Ms. Dickinson. Recommended for the studious, but otherwise would recommend Connie Kirk's biography of Emily Dickinson, for those who just want the basics.
