It foregrounds the copies of poems that Dickinson retained for herself during her lifetime, in the form she retained them. This is the only edition of Dickinson's complete poems to distinguish in easy visual form the approximately 1,100 poems she took pains to copy carefully onto folded sheets in fair hand--arguably to preserve them for posterity--from the poems she kept in rougher form or apparently did not retain. It is the first edition to include the alternate words and phrases Dickinson wrote on copies of the poems she retained. Readers can see, and determine for themselves, the extent to which a poem is resolved or fluid. A Dickinson scholar, Miller supplies helpful notes that gloss the poet's quotations and allusions and the contexts of her writing. Miller's Introduction describes Dickinson's practices in copying and circulating poems and summarizes contentious debates within Dickinson scholarship."--Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes In English Print version record Subject Dickinson, Emily, 1830-1886 -- Criticism and interpretation Dickinson, Emily, 1830-1886 -- Manuscripts SUBJECT Dickinson, Emily, 1830-1886 fast Dickinson, Emily 1830-1886 gnd Subject Poetry -- Editing.
