The Poetry of Emily Dickinson

This brings philosophers and literary theorists together in a sustained, coherent conversation about the philosophical status and implications of Emily Dickinson's poetry. Written in an accessible, jargon-free way, the volume's six chapters demonstrate that Plato's famous quarrel between poetry and philosophy can in fact be a productive and enjoyable one, and that both modes of thought can make a practical difference in how we live and make sense of our everyday lives.
