A compelling biographical portrait, The Mystery of Emily Dickinson chronicles the life of one of America's most enigmatic and celebrated poets, whose reclusive lifestyle and unconventional verse left the world both baffled and spellbound. Laura Benet illuminates the inner world of Dickinson — her rich inner life, her intense relationships, and the quiet Amherst existence that paradoxically gave rise to some of the most powerful poetry in the English language. Written with warmth and scholarly insight, the narrative uncovers the personal mysteries that surrounded Dickinson's withdrawal from society and her decision to publish almost none of her nearly 1,800 poems during her lifetime. Benet presents a nuanced and deeply human portrait of a genius who worked in solitude, illustrating how Dickinson's unconventional spirit and visionary voice forever transformed American literature.
