Emily Dickinson's poetry is known and read worldwide but to date there have been no studies of her reception and influence outside America. This collection of essays brings together international research on her reception abroad including translations, circulation and the responses of private and professional readers to her poetry in different countries. The contributors address key translations of individual poems and lyric sequences; Dickinson's influence on other writers, poets and culture more broadly; biographical constructions of Dickinson as a poet; the political cultural and linguistic contexts of translations; and adaptations into other media. It will appeal to all those interested in the international reception of Dickinson and nineteenth-century American literature more widely.

The essays in this collection make an important and timely contribution to Dickinson scholarship, documenting but also explaining the nuances of Dickinson's appreciation, appropriation and influence outside the United States. This fascinating book expands our understanding of Dickinson's twentieth-century reception, showing how scholars, readers, writers, and translators from Europe, Japan, South America, Israel, Australia and Canada confirm critical and theoretical trends in Dickinson scholarship, but also offer different approaches to her work, new insights and fresh perspectives.
