Information
Emily Dickinson (1830—1886, Amherst) is the precursor of Modernism. She crafted the finest and most original poetic anthology ever since that keeps resonating and inspiring us to date. An American lyric poet who lived in seclusion and commanded a singular brilliance of style and integrity of vision, Dickinson is widely considered to be one of the leading American and worldwide poets.
In these four lessons offered by Andrea Cruz, who is completing her PhD in Dickinson’s work, the poetic world of Emily Dickinson will be explored through the analysis of her style and a selection of the finest poems she wrote, which delve into Eternity, Death, Poetry and the world of Nature. Moreover the last lesson will be devoted to the echoes Dickinson had in other contemporary poets.
