REVIEW:
This site offers a wealth of information and primary documents concerning
Emily Dickinson, one of the United States’ most admired and
popular poets of the nineteenth –century. Visitors can see
the poet at work by perusing the digital images of the handwritten
records of her composing habits and her everyday routines as well
as correspondence with friends, colleagues and family. A series
of articles by the site editors offer insights into the life and
work of Dickinson. The Titanic Operas section provides responses
to Dickinson’s work from other well-known poets and authors.
Many of the responses are available in an audio version as well
as text. The Teaching section offers links for using the archive
in the classroom, particularly to the “Classroom Electric”
and other resources that will be useful to teachers. The resources
section provides links to related sites and biographical and critical
materials.
